refactor: replace MCP ready state polling with asyncio.Event

Replace the global variable + lock + polling mechanism with asyncio.Event
pattern for MCP server ready state tracking.

Benefits:
- Eliminates race conditions (Event.set() is thread-safe)
- Event-driven notification instead of polling (no 50x sleep overhead)
- Fixes test contamination from global state
- Reduces code from 54 lines to 30 lines
- Uses standard asyncio primitive for this pattern
