feat: allow complex JSON values in request _meta

Closes #1910

`_meta` was typed `Record<string, string>` end to end in the Inspector —
on disk as a `{ key, value }[]` pair array, in the Server Settings form as
key/value rows, and in every request verb's per-call metadata parameter.
Nothing in the MCP spec restricts a `_meta` value to a string, and the SDK
models the field as a `z.looseObject`, so the restriction was ours alone.

Widen the whole path to `RequestMetadata` (`Record<string, JsonValue>`):

- Per-server default metadata is a JSON **object** on disk and in memory.
  The pre-#1910 pair array is still read (`normalizeStoredMetadata`) so an
  existing `mcp.json` keeps working; it is never written back, so a save
  migrates the entry.
- The Server Settings → Request Metadata section is a JSON editor
  (`JsonObjectInput`) instead of key/value rows — rows cannot express an
  object value. It keeps the typed text as the display source and emits
  only parsed JSON, the same draft split `SchemaJsonField` uses, so the box
  stays typeable; invalid text is flagged inline and not applied.
- The CLI stops flattening `--metadata` / `--tool-metadata` through
  `metaValueToString`. Those values were already JSON-parsed, so
  `trace={"id":"abc"}` used to reach the wire as the *string* `{"id":"abc"}`
  and now reaches it as an object.
- `servers/show` redaction replaces a sensitive key's whole value rather
  than a string, so a structured value cannot leak through its members.
- `progressTokenOf` narrows the reserved `progressToken` key back to
  `string | number` before it reaches the SDK; any other JSON still travels
  inside `_meta` but wires up no progress callback.

| `--prompt-name <name>` | Prompt name (for `prompts/get`). |
| `--prompt-args <key=value>` | Prompt arguments; repeat for multiple. |
| `--log-level <level>` | Logging level for `logging/setLevel` (e.g. `debug`, `info`). |
| `--metadata <key=value>` | General metadata (key=value); applied to all methods. |
| `--tool-metadata <key=value>` | Tool-specific metadata for `tools/call`. |
| `--metadata <key=value>` | General `_meta` entries (key=value); applied to all methods. The value is JSON-parsed when it parses, so `trace={"id":"abc"}` sends a real object and `n=3` a number; anything that is not valid JSON is sent as the literal string. |
| `--tool-metadata <key=value>` | Tool-specific `_meta` entries for `tools/call`. Same JSON-parsed value handling as `--metadata`. |
| `--connect-timeout <ms>` | Connection timeout in ms. Defaults to `15000` for ad-hoc `--server-url`/target runs (so a black-holed host fails fast) and to the file-level timeout for `--catalog`/`--config` runs. `0` disables the timeout. |
| `--app-info` | Probe a tool's MCP App UI metadata without invoking it. With `--method tools/call --tool-name <name>`: prints one JSON line (`hasApp`, `resourceUri`, `csp`, `permissions`, `domain`, …) and exits `0` if the tool has an app or `2` (`no_app`) if not. With `--method tools/list`: emits NDJSON — one app-info line per tool over a single connection. |
| `--format <text\|json>` | Output format. `text` (default) pretty-prints the result. `json` emits a single JSON object on stdout (`{ "result": … }`, plus `{ "appInfo": … }` as a sibling key for App tools) with no banners, so the whole output pipes cleanly into `jq`. |
| `--relogin` | Delete stored OAuth for this server URL from the shared store before connect; interactive login still only runs if the server requires auth. Requires an HTTP/SSE URL (rejected for stdio). Conflicts with `--stored-auth-only` / `--use-stored-auth` / `--wait-for-auth` / catalog short-circuits. |
| `--stored-auth-only` | **CI / non-interactive safe:** never start interactive OAuth / step-up (and never auto-open a browser); use the shared store if present, otherwise fail immediately with `auth_required`. Prefer this over a bare pipe/CI run that would otherwise attempt interactive login. |
`servers/show` redacts secret-bearing fields (`env` values, sensitive headers / `settings.metadata` keys, `requestInit` / `eventSourceInit` headers, `oauthClientSecret`). It does **not** scrub credentials embedded in a server `url` (userinfo or query tokens) or in stdio `args` — treat `detail` / raw URL fields as potentially sensitive before pasting into issues.

/**
* A JSON-object editor: the user types JSON, the parent receives the parsed
* object.
*
* This is the editor for payloads whose *values* may be any JSON, which is why
* it exists beside the key/value row editors used for headers and env. `_meta`
* is the case that forced it (#1910) — nothing in the MCP spec restricts a
* `_meta` value to a string, so a `{ key, value }` row editor cannot express
* what the protocol allows.
*
* The text the user is typing is the source of truth for what is *displayed*;
* the parent only ever sees a parsed object. That split is what makes the box
* typeable: driving it off the parent's value and stringifying on every render
* re-escapes half-typed text once per keystroke, which is the #1928 symptom.
* `SchemaJsonField` in `SchemaForm.tsx` carries the same split for the same
* reason — see the long comment there.
*
* While the text is invalid the parent is **not** told, so the last valid
* object stands. The alternative — emitting `{}` — would silently discard a
* user's configured metadata the moment they typed a stray character, and this
* form has no Save button to gate instead: `onChange` writes straight through.
* The state is not silent, though; the field says so on itself via `error`.
