* refactor(web): consolidate the three GET /api/config hooks into one (#1643)

useSandboxUrl, useServerListWritable, and useInspectorVersion each fetched
the same static /api/config payload separately and read one field from it —
three requests on load for one payload. Replace them with a single
useInitialConfig hook that fetches once and exposes { version, sandboxUrl,
writable, loading } with the same tolerant parsing/defaults (writable
defaults true; version/sandboxUrl undefined when absent; unmount-safe).

- Add core/react/useInitialConfig.ts; wire App.tsx to it.
- Remove the three former single-field hooks and their tests.
- Fold the fetch-branch matrix into one useInitialConfig test.

* test(web): address review nits on useInitialConfig tests (#1643)

- "keeps writable true for any non-false value" now sends real falsy-but-
  not-false values a nonconforming backend could actually emit (null / 0 /
  "no") instead of `writable: undefined`, which was indistinguishable from an
  absent key and duplicated the omitted-field test.
- Soften the post-unmount comment to say the test exercises the isCancelled()
  guard branches for coverage rather than implying it can detect their removal
  (React 18 dropped the setState-after-unmount warning).

* docs(web): fix contradicting unmount-guard comment; it.each writable cases (#1643)

Second-review follow-ups:
- core/react/useInitialConfig.ts: correct the isCancelled() rationale — React
  18 no longer warns on setState-after-unmount; the guard exists to stop a
  stale payload (after unmount or a baseUrl/authToken re-run) overwriting
  current state. The old wording contradicted the corrected test comment.
- useInitialConfig.test.tsx: convert the writable-non-false loop to it.each so
  each value (null / 0 / "no") reports independently.

* test(web): use vitest %j specifier in it.each title; tidy hook docblock (#1643)

Third-review follow-ups (both title/comment-only):
- useInitialConfig.test.tsx: `%p` is a Jest specifier vitest doesn't support,
  so all three cases rendered the literal `%p`. Switch to `%j` — titles now
  render null / 0 / "no" distinctly (verified: `writable=null`, `writable=0`,
  `writable="no"`).
- useInitialConfig.ts: extend the class docblock to say a response is dropped
  after unmount OR a re-fetch, matching the corrected inline guard comment.

/**
* React hook over the `GET /api/config` endpoint — the single fetch of the
* static `InitialConfigPayload` the dev/prod web backends serve alongside the
* SPA (see `core/mcp/remote/node/server.ts`). It exposes the three fields the
* web app reads off that payload:
*
* - `sandboxUrl` — the MCP Apps sandbox proxy URL. The backend mounts
* `sandbox_proxy.html` on a separate controller port and advertises the URL
* here; the Apps screen embeds it as the trusted outer iframe. `undefined`
* until the fetch resolves, and whenever the backend omits it (legacy backend,
* or a build without the sandbox controller) — callers treat that as "Apps
* unavailable" rather than a blank iframe.
* - `writable` — whether the session's server list is a writable catalog or a
* read-only session (`--config` / ad-hoc `--server-url`). Defaults to `true`
* until the fetch resolves and whenever the field is absent (a legacy backend
* predating the flag), so the default catalog keeps full CRUD.
* - `version` — the Inspector version the backend reads from the root
* `package.json` (the browser can't read it off disk). `undefined` until the
* fetch resolves, and whenever the backend omits it (legacy backend) — the UI
* renders nothing then.
*
* This consolidates the three former single-field hooks (`useSandboxUrl`,
* `useServerListWritable`, `useInspectorVersion`), each of which fetched the
* same static payload separately, into one request (#1643).
*
* Fetches on mount, and re-fetches if `baseUrl` or `authToken` changes (rare —
* effectively a full reload; the GET is idempotent). A response that resolves
* after unmount or a re-fetch is dropped rather than overwriting current state.
