Introduces a version-aware mechanism for the `get_best_practices` MCP tool to solve the version-mismatch problem where the AI could provide guidance for a different version of Angular than what the user's project has installed. The tool now accepts a `workspacePath` to locate the project's installed `@angular/core` package. It reads a new `angular` metadata property from the framework's `package.json` to find the path to a version-specific `best-practices.md` file co-located within the framework package itself. This change ensures the AI assistant's guidance is perfectly aligned with the project's actual framework version, dramatically increasing its accuracy and reliability. If a version-specific guide cannot be resolved, the tool gracefully falls back to the generic guide bundled with the CLI to ensure backward compatibility. The core MCP server instructions are also updated to guide the AI on the new workflow.
