fix: disable preemptive_generation for tool call compatibility; add get_time tool

- preemptive_generation was incompatible with MCP tool calls: it starts
  generating before the turn finalizes, breaking the tool execution loop
  (agent said 'let me check' then hung forever)
- Add get_time(location?) to weather_mcp.py for date/time queries
- Update system prompt with Weather & Time section
