feat(servers): move oauthClientSecret and stdio env values to OS keychain (#1356) (#1360)

* feat(servers): move oauthClientSecret and stdio env values to OS keychain (#1356)

mcp.json is designed to be tool-shareable (symlinked from Claude Desktop's
config, pasted into bug reports, synced via dotfiles), so storing OAuth
client secrets and stdio env values in plaintext there meant any of those
flows could leak them. Lift both into the OS keychain via @napi-rs/keyring
(active replacement for the archived keytar). The wire shape is unchanged:
the GET /api/servers handler rehydrates from the keychain so browser code
sees the same JSON; the on-disk file no longer contains the secret
material. Includes an idempotent migration that lifts plaintext from older
mcp.json files (or hand-edited ones) into the keychain on first read.

* fix(servers): tolerate keychain unavailability on non-set ops (#1356)

CI on Linux failed because `@napi-rs/keyring` hard-errors without
libsecret, and the route handlers were touching the keychain even for
no-secret flows (defensive `deleteAllForServer` on POST/DELETE, sweep
on PUT). The user's intent for the Linux fallback was "hard fail when a
secret is actually involved" — not on every keychain touch.

Make `KeyringSecretStore.get / delete / deleteAllForServer` silently
degrade when the keychain is unavailable (return null / no-op); `set`
remains the one operation that hard-fails with
`KeychainUnavailableError`. The migration path catches the error and
preserves the disk plaintext rather than losing the secret.

Also inject `InMemorySecretStore` in `useServers.test.tsx` and
`servers-events.test.ts` so tests never touch a developer's real
keychain even when libsecret is present.

Adds `KeyringSecretStore` tests (vi.mock'd native bindings) and an
integration suite that simulates Linux-without-libsecret to verify the
tolerance contract end-to-end.

* fix(servers): close GET migration race; reverse keychain/disk order (#1356)

Addresses code review:

1. **Concurrency**: GET /api/servers was reading + migrating outside the
   write lock, then writing inside it — a concurrent POST/PUT/DELETE
   between the read and the lock acquisition could be clobbered by the
   migration write. Also affected the first-launch seed write. Fix:
   take a fast unlocked peek; if the file is absent (seed branch) or
   carries plaintext to migrate (migration branch), re-read inside the
   write lock and decide there. Added `hasPlaintextSecrets()` as a
   pure predicate so the common no-migration path stays lock-free.

2. **Write ordering**: POST and PUT wrote disk first, then keychain.
   A keychain `set` failure mid-write left a half-configured entry on
   disk and trapped retries at 409. Reversed to keychain-first so a
   503 leaves both stores in their pre-write state. PUT in-place now
   sets new fields, writes disk, then deletes obsolete fields (a
   failed disk write leaves orphan keychain entries — recoverable —
   rather than premature deletions of fields the user still expects
   to see).

3. **Tolerance simplification**: dropped the no-entry regex in
   `KeyringSecretStore.delete` — both "no entry" and "keychain
   unavailable" collapse to the same desired outcome (the entry isn't
   there anymore), so a uniform swallow is clearer.

4. **Parallelism**: `readKeychainEntriesFor` now `Promise.all`s the
   per-field `get` calls. macOS Keychain round-trips are 10-50ms;
   serializing 5+ env vars per server × N servers is a meaningful
   wall-clock cost on GET.

5. **Spec doc**: reflects the tolerance contract (only `set`
   hard-fails) and the keychain-before-disk write ordering rationale.

New regression test in servers-route.test.ts covers the retry-after-503
contract directly.

* chore(servers): parallel keychain writes + migration partial-state comment (#1356)

Two nice-to-have observations from the re-review:

- `writeKeychainEntriesFor` now `Promise.all`s its per-field sets,
  matching the read side. No ordering requirement among distinct
  (id, field) keys; on unavailability every set rejects and Promise.all
  surfaces the first rejection (still 503 from the route handler).
- `migratePlaintextSecrets` catch block now spells out the
  partial-migration semantics: we return the original config so the
  disk plaintext stays intact, and the next successful GET retries
  with the keychain-wins branch absorbing already-set entries.

* chore(servers): parallel keychain deletes for symmetry (#1356)

Picks up the symmetry observation from the third review: `deleteKeychainFields`
now uses `Promise.all` like its read and write siblings. Distinct (id, field)
deletes have no ordering requirement, and `secretStore.delete` is already a
silent no-op on unavailability so Promise.all has no failure-mode surprise.

@ -243,7 +243,12 @@ Each server entry may carry these Inspector-extension fields at the top level:
- `connectionTimeout` → `Promise.race` wrapper around `InspectorClient.connect()` in the web client.
- `oauth.clientId` / `oauth.clientSecret` / `oauth.scopes` → pre-seeded OAuth client credentials via `InspectorClientOptions.oauth` (the disk-side `oauth` object is lifted into the flat `oauthClientId` / etc. fields on `InspectorServerSettings` for the form).
- **First-connect contract**: settings apply on the *first* outbound request after the entry loads from disk — no need to open the settings form. The browser sends `settings` to the backend in the `/api/mcp/connect` body; the backend reads it from `RemoteConnectRequest` and threads it into `createTransportNode`.
- **Secret storage**: `oauth.clientSecret` is persisted in `mcp.json` alongside stdio `env` values, both protected by the file's `0o600` permission. OS-keychain integration is tracked separately in #1356 — when that lands, the secret will be lifted out of the file and replaced with a keychain reference.
- **Secret storage (#1356)**: `oauth.clientSecret` and stdio `env` values are persisted in the OS keychain (macOS Keychain Services / Windows Credential Manager / Linux libsecret via `@napi-rs/keyring`), keyed by `(serverId, field)` under the service name `mcp-inspector`. Field names: `oauth-client-secret`, `env:<KEY>` (one per stdio env variable). The on-disk `mcp.json` is stripped of these values — `oauth.clientSecret` is omitted entirely, stdio env keys are preserved with empty-string placeholders (`"env": { "API_KEY": "" }`) so the file still documents the env interface the server expects. The wire shape returned by `GET /api/servers` is unchanged from before #1356: the handler rehydrates values from the keychain so browser code sees the same JSON it has always seen. The keychain interactions live in `core/auth/node/secret-store.ts` behind a `SecretStore` interface; `KeyringSecretStore` is the production impl and `InMemorySecretStore` is the test double the integration suite injects via `RemoteServerOptions.secretStore`.
- **Migration**: on every `GET /api/servers`, the handler walks the freshly-read config and, for any entry that still carries plaintext secrets (older Inspector builds, hand-edited files, files imported from another tool), lifts each value into the keychain and rewrites the file with the stripped shape. The migration is idempotent — when the keychain already holds a value for `(serverId, field)`, the keychain wins and the disk plaintext is dropped unread. After the rewrite the disk file no longer contains the secret material.
- **Linux without libsecret**: `KeyringSecretStore` is *tolerant* — only the `set` operation throws `KeychainUnavailableError` (translated to a `503` by the handlers); `get` returns `null` and the destructive operations silently no-op. The result is that no-secret flows (creating a stdio server with no env values, deleting an entry, reading the list, the defensive sweep on POST) all work normally on a minimal Linux box without libsecret. Only the moments where a secret would actually be lost — saving an OAuth client secret, saving a stdio env value, or migrating a plaintext value into the keychain — surface a clear error. macOS and Windows always have a working keychain so this only matters on minimal Linux installs.
- **Migration tolerance**: when migration encounters `KeychainUnavailableError`, the GET handler logs a warning, leaves the on-disk plaintext untouched, and serves the (still-plaintext) response. Subsequent reads retry — installing libsecret later lifts the secrets on the next GET without any user action.
- **Write ordering on POST/PUT**: keychain writes happen before the disk write, and obsolete-field deletions happen after. The intent is that a `set` failure (the only hard-fail path) leaves both stores in their pre-write state — no half-applied entry on disk that would trap a retry POST at `409`, and no premature deletion of an obsolete field whose disk write later fails.
- **Out of scope for this PR**: the OAuth handshake itself still runs in the browser via the MCP SDK, so during the token exchange the secret transits the wire (browser → MCP SDK → OAuth provider's token endpoint). The on-disk win this PR delivers is that the secret is no longer in the shareable / symlinked `mcp.json` and is no longer the source-of-truth on the filesystem. Moving the token exchange to the Node side is tracked separately.
- **Hard-cutover legacy behavior (per #1358 decision 4)**: files written by the one pre-#1358 build of v2/main have a nested `settings` block. `normalizeMcpServers` drops the node on read and logs a one-line warn including the server id; the persisted headers / metadata / timeouts / OAuth credentials are intentionally lost on first read. Users re-enter them via the settings form (or hand-edit the file into the flat shape). v2 has not shipped a stable release with the nested shape, so the blast radius is the small set of v2/main dogfooders who edited per-server settings between #1353 merging and this change.
- **UI**: `ServerSettingsModal` is opened from the server card's settings affordance. Saving routes through `useServers.updateServerSettings(id, settings)` which issues a settings-only `PUT /api/servers/:id` with `{ id, settings }` — the route preserves the on-disk transport config inside its write lock. Conversely, `useServers.updateServer` (driven by the basic-config modal) issues a config-only PUT with `{ id, config }` and the route preserves the on-disk settings fields. Edits in either modal cannot silently wipe the other half.
- **Save cadence**: the form fires `onSettingsChange` on every keystroke. `App.tsx` debounces 300 ms and flushes on modal close so a burst of edits coalesces into a single PUT. If the close-flush PUT fails (network hiccup, server 500), a red `@mantine/notifications` toast surfaces the failure — the modal has already closed so a silent failure would leave the user thinking the last edits saved.
