fix(mcp): announce a disabled parked entry once, not per self-probe wake

The enabled:false gate on the parked self-probe logged an INFO line on
every wake, which on a 300 s timer is the same unbounded stream the gate
exists to end; the pause is announced once and repeats go to DEBUG. Tests
trimmed to two invariants driving the real park loop.
