dte.Solution.Open() is synchronous and blocks the UI thread until the whole solution finishes loading. Awaiting it inline blocked the RPC call until load completion, which exceeded MCP client timeouts on non-trivial solutions and surfaced as a generic 'An error occurred invoking solution_open' instead of a real result. Mirrors the async pattern already used for build_solution: validate and normalize the path, then fire the actual load off without awaiting it so the tool call returns immediately. Callers can poll solution_info to see when the new solution has finished loading.
