docs(sdk): document Options.DebugLogger and WithDebugLogger

- README.md: add WithDebugLogger to the functional-options helper list
- pkg/kit/README.md: expand the Debug row and add a DebugLogger row in
  the Options field summary
- www/pages/sdk/overview.md: add WithDebugLogger to the helpers table
  with a note that it overrides WithDebug when set
- www/pages/sdk/options.md: surface DebugLogger in the example, expand
  the Debug field description, add a DebugLogger row to the Core
  fields table, and add a "Custom debug logger" section with the
  interface signature and a log/slog adapter example

 Context cancellation also works end-to-end: cancelling the `ctx` passed to a
 tool execution triggers a best-effort `tasks/cancel` before the call returns.
 
+## Custom debug logger
+
+Kit's engine and MCP tool plumbing emit low-level debug output through a
+`DebugLogger` interface. By default, setting `Debug: true` (or calling
+`WithDebug()`) installs the built-in console logger. To route the same output
+into your application's logging system instead, provide a custom
+implementation via `Options.DebugLogger` or `WithDebugLogger`.
+
+```go
+type DebugLogger interface {
+    LogDebug(message string)
+    IsDebugEnabled() bool
+}
+```
+
+When `DebugLogger` is non-nil it takes precedence over `Debug` — the
+supplied logger's `IsDebugEnabled()` reports whether downstream code should
+bother formatting messages.
+
+**Example: forward to `log/slog`:**
+
+```go
+import "log/slog"
+
+type slogDebugLogger struct{ l *slog.Logger }
+
+func (s *slogDebugLogger) LogDebug(m string)    { s.l.Debug(m) }

+)
+```
+
+Implementations must be safe for concurrent use — messages can arrive
+from the engine goroutine, MCP connection pool, and tool execution paths
+simultaneously.
