+ * `"6 in"`, `"180cm"`, `"2 ft 3 in"`; `measurement('angle', 'deg')` accepts
+ * `45`, `"45°"`, `"1.57rad"`, `"0.25 turn"`. The value is canonicalized (via
+ * `@pascal-app/lingo`) to a number in `unit` — the exact unit the tool handler
+ * already expects — so no handler change is needed. `min`/`max` (in `unit`)
+ * reject out-of-range values with a model-readable message.
+ *
+ * The emitted JSON Schema is `number | string`, so the model is free to answer
+ * in whatever unit it is thinking in; AI SDK v6 applies the transform and
+ * forwards the canonical number to the tool executor.
+ *
+ * Tool-boundary safety: genuinely ambiguous separators (`"1,234"`, which could
+ * mean 1234 or 1.234) are rejected rather than silently absorbed, so a European
+ * decimal never becomes a 1000× value.

+ * NOTE: intentionally duplicated as `editor/packages/mcp/src/tools/measurement.ts`
