Merge pull request 'fix(mcplocal): serve OpenAI-safe tool names on the wire' (#124) from fix/wire-safe-tool-names into main

Drives /projects/:name/mcp over the real Streamable HTTP transport with a
fake websearch upstream: tools/list must serve `websearch_fetch_content`
(every name matching the OpenAI function-name charset), calling that wire
name must reach the upstream as bare `fetch_content`, and a legacy client
echoing the canonical `websearch/fetch_content` must still route.

+/**
+ * Wire-safe tool-name codec for client-facing MCP endpoints.
+ *
+ * Internally the proxy namespaces tools as `server/tool`, and presentation
+ * plugins add `favourite/<tool>`, `all/<server>/<tool>` and
+ * `agent-<name>/chat`. A `/` is not a valid character in OpenAI-style
+ * function names (`^[a-zA-Z0-9_.-]{1,64}$`), so hosts that forward MCP tool
+ * names verbatim as LLM function names (LibreChat) depend on the model
+ * faithfully echoing an illegal name. deepseek-v4-flash intermittently drops
+ * the `server/` prefix; the host's registry lookup then fails and it reports
+ * the tool's "MCP server is temporarily unavailable" while nothing is down
+ * (the librechat fetch_content incident, 2026-08-25). Claude Code and the pi
+ * extension dodge this only because they sanitize names client-side.
+ *
+ * The codec translates ONLY at the HTTP boundary:
+ *   - tools/list responses are rewritten to wire-safe names (`/` → `_`),
+ *   - tools/call requests are mapped back to the presented (internal) name
+ *     via an exact-match reverse map.
+ *
+ * Everything inside the proxy — routing maps, plugins, favourites config,
+ * audit events — keeps the canonical names. Inbound names with no map entry
+ * (legacy clients echoing slash names, virtual tools called before any
+ * tools/list) pass through unchanged, so existing clients keep working.
+ *
+ * The maps live per project router (not per session) so a client that
+ * reconnects mid-conversation still resolves names listed on its previous
+ * session, as long as the process is alive. After a restart the first
+ * tools/list (which every MCP client performs on initialize) repopulates them.
