What Explain Error does
You are executing the `/explain-error` command. Your job is to diagnose a Coq type error: parse it, gather context using MCP tools, explain what went wrong in plain language, and suggest concrete fixes.

Check these sources in order until you have an error to work with:
- The user provided an error message directly in the conversation. Use it as-is.
- Look for a recent Coq error in the conversation history (e.g., from a build or proof attempt).
- If neither is av
