chunk_id is required

Error message

chunk_id is required

What it means

Validation guard at the top of authorizeChunkInSearchTargets: the chunkID parameter (after strings.TrimSpace) is empty, so there is no chunk to authorize. It fires when a tool call or caller passes a blank/whitespace chunk_id, before any service lookup or scope checks happen.
