feat: add MCP client plugin (dsh-mcp-client)

Connects to an external MCP server and registers its tools on ctx.tools. Supports stdio (child process) and Streamable HTTP transports. Credential-shaped env vars are scrubbed before forwarding to child processes. - Plugin lifecycle: connect, sync tools, re-sync on ToolListChanged, dispose unregisters and closes - Full JSDoc on all exports (@param/@returns on functions) - 100% per-file coverage (apply lifecycle, args coercion, env scrubbing) - Config catalog regenerated

+
+MCP client bridge plugin: connects to external [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) servers and registers their tools on `ctx.tools`, making them available to the model as native tools.
+
+## Usage
+
+One plugin instance per MCP server in `cordis.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+- id: mcp-github
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client'
+  config:
+    transport: stdio
+    command: npx
+    args: ['-y', '@modelcontextprotocol/server-github']
+    env:
+      GITHUB_TOKEN: !!js process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN
+
+- id: mcp-web
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client'
+  config:
+    transport: streamable-http
+    url: http://localhost:3000/mcp
+    headers:
+      Authorization: !!js '`Bearer ${process.env.MCP_TOKEN}`'
+```
+
+HMR hot-swaps: editing the entry triggers disconnect + reconnect without process restart.
+
+## Config
+
+| Field | Transport | Required | Description |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `transport` | both | yes | `"stdio"` or `"streamable-http"` |
+| `command` | stdio | yes | Executable to spawn |
+| `args` | stdio | no | Arguments passed to the command |
+| `env` | stdio | no | Extra env vars merged on top of scrubbed ambient env |
+| `cwd` | stdio | no | Working directory for the child process |
+| `url` | http | yes | MCP server URL |
+| `headers` | http | no | Extra headers (e.g. auth tokens) |
+| `toolPrefix` | both | no | Prefix prepended to each tool name before registration |
+| `toolCallTimeoutMs` | both | no | Timeout per `callTool` invocation (default 60000) |
+
+## Behavior
+
+- On connect: `listTools()` → registers each tool via `ctx.tools.register()`.
+- Listens for `notifications/tools/list_changed` → re-syncs tool registrations.
+- Tool execute: `client.callTool({ name, arguments }, { signal })` with timeout + abort support.
+- Image content in results is discarded with a warning (the harness has no image block type).
+- On disconnect/crash: all tools are unregistered; no auto-reconnect.
+- Name conflicts: if a tool name collides, it is skipped with a warning. Use `toolPrefix` to disambiguate.
+
+## Services consumed
+
+| Service | Usage |
+|---|---|
+| `ctx.tools` | Register/unregister MCP tools |
