STDIO connection support improvements

[vibegui]

Summary by cubic

Adds robust STDIO MCP connection support with environment-based credentials and stable process management. Improves hot-reload stability.

• New Features

  • Issue infinite JWTs for STDIO and pass credentials via MESH_TOKEN, MESH_URL, and MESH_STATE env vars; HTTP tokens remain 5 minutes.
  • Proxy exposes getConfigurationToken/getMeshUrl and includes mesh context in ON_MCP_CONFIGURATION for STDIO.
  • Stable STDIO transport: PID capture, process-tree kill, pool reset; app resets pool on startup/HMR.
  • UI: “Refresh Tools” button in connection settings.
  • Docs: STDIO connection guide (EN/PT-BR), README updates, and AGENTS.md documentation requirements.

• Bug Fixes

  • Persist JWT secret and ContextFactory via globalThis to survive HMR.
  • Detect dead STDIO clients on reuse and respawn cleanly.
  • Tests updated to new issueMeshToken options API.

^{Written for commit af27cb0. Summary will update on new commits.}
