commit 6cb34f9a760bb9f3971ff48841cedf75288147e3
Author: Federico Mariani <[email protected]>
AuthorDate: Fri Sep 25 11:10:06 2026 +0200

    CAMEL-25000: camel-ai-tool / camel-ai-resource - register during route 
warm-up so early requests see every tool (#26856)
    
    * CAMEL-25000: camel-ai-tool / camel-ai-resource - register during route 
warm-up so early requests see every tool
    
    ai-tool and ai-resource routes registered only when their consumer started.
    A route declared earlier whose consumer produces immediately (e.g. 
stream:in)
    called the LLM before later tool routes were registered, silently sending a
    partial or empty tool list; mcp-server published partial lists the same way.
    
    The endpoints now register during route warm-up, which Camel completes for 
all
    routes before starting any route consumer, for routes that start 
automatically.
    The auto-startup check is extracted from RouteService into
    CamelContextHelper.isAutoStartup(Route) so both share one implementation.

    * CAMEL-25000: make the endpoint consumer reference volatile
