fix(proxy): route through undici's own fetch and keep undici external

Corporate-proxy users could not connect to any remote MCP server from v2.
Two independent defects, both reported in #2067.

1. The web and TUI bundles inlined undici. It was declared in the root and
   `clients/cli` manifests but named in no client's tsup `external` list, and
   tsup auto-externalizes only what the *nearest* manifest declares — so
   esbuild inlined 1.05MB of it into `clients/{web,tui}/build/`. undici is
   CommonJS, so the emitted chunk's `require("assert")` hit esbuild's ESM
   `__require` shim and threw `Dynamic require of "assert" is not supported`.
   The rejected `import()` surfaced as "the `undici` package is not available",
   telling users to install a package that was already present — and could not
   have helped, because the specifier had been rewritten to a relative chunk at
   build time.

2. `withProxyDispatcher` injected a *userland* undici `EnvHttpProxyAgent` into
   Node's *built-in* fetch. That couples two different copies of undici at the
   dispatcher handler interface, which is not stable across majors: Node 22
   embeds undici 6, Node 24 embeds 7, Node 26 embeds 8. A userland undici 8
   agent handed a built-in undici 7 handler is rejected with
   `fetch failed: invalid onRequestStart method`, and the request never leaves
   the process. So fixing the bundling alone would only have converted the
   web/TUI failure into the CLI's.

Both halves of the pair now come from userland undici — its `fetch` and its
`EnvHttpProxyAgent` — which keeps the handler inside one copy and works
unchanged from the Node 22.19 engine floor through Node 26. Deleting the
wrapper in favor of Node's native `NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY` was not an option:
measured, it is unsupported on 22.19 (the floor) and only lands mid-22.x.

Because undici's `Response` is a different class from `globalThis.Response`,
the proxied fetch re-wraps each response as a genuine global `Response`,
streaming preserved. Without that, `res instanceof Response` is false for
callers that test it — including the SDK's OAuth error formatter, which would
degrade every message to `Raw body: [object Response]`.

The proxy now sits at the bottom of the fetch stack (`environment.fetch` for
the Node clients, and the `createTransportNode` default for the web backend,
its one caller that supplies no `fetchFn`) rather than wrapping the transport's
fetch. Proxying means *substituting* the fetch, not decorating one, so wrapping
a supplied `fetchFn` would discard it; installing it underneath lets
InspectorClient's own wrappers compose over it. A side effect worth having:
OAuth discovery and token requests go through `environment.fetch` too, and were
never proxied before.

Guarding it:

- `undici` is added to all three tsup `external` lists and removed from
  `clients/cli/package.json`, so it is root-declared only, per the placement
  rule in AGENTS.md. The two installs had already drifted (root 8.5.0 vs cli
  8.9.0).
- New `npm run verify:bundle-externals` fails if any package a client declares
  external was inlined into that client's bundle anyway. It reads the *built
  output*, not the config — those two disagreed for four releases — and derives
  what to check from each client's own `external` array, so a newly
  externalized package is covered without editing the guard. Verified against
  the real pre-fix artifact, which it flags.
- The proxy tests now drive a real forwarding proxy rather than a mock. That
  matters: defect 2 was a runtime interface mismatch, which no mock can catch
  because no mock ever dispatches.

AGENTS.md's must-not-bundle rule (added by #2082) is extended with why undici
slipped past it, and notes the `node -e` trap — probing the bundled chunk with
`node -e` falsely succeeds, because it exposes a global `require` that
satisfies esbuild's guard.

Closes #2067

 - `npm run format` before committing; **`npm run ci` before pushing** (`validate` → `coverage` → `verify:build-gate` → `smoke` → Storybook). `npm run validate` is the fast inner-loop check and is **not** a substitute — it runs `test`, not `test:coverage`, so it does zero coverage gating.
 - **A dependency bump must land in every install that declares it.** v2 is not a workspace — the root and each `clients/*` have their own `node_modules`, and a client's test project compiles `core/` and `test-servers/src` (which resolve from the **root**) alongside the client's own sources. Bumping a shared dependency in one manifest only puts two versions of it in one `tsc` program; for a recursive-generic surface like zod that exhausts the tsc heap (#1896). `verify:dep-lockstep` fails the build on this — it derives its candidates from what each `tsc` program actually resolves (`tsc --listFilesOnly`, keeping packages that reach one program from two installs), so a package reached only through another package's `.d.ts` counts too (#1965) — so a PR bumping a package the shared sources pull in should update the root **and every client that already lists it** — not every client unconditionally, since a package absent from an install can't skew and adding it there would be a spurious dependency.
 - **A test or smoke must not touch real user state.** The web smokes run against a throwaway catalog via the shared `scripts/lib/prod-web-server.mjs` helper, never the developer's `~/.mcp-inspector/mcp.json` (#1977); the cli/tui smokes drive a temp `--catalog`. A new smoke spawning its own server, or teardown that removes a work dir without first awaiting `stopChild` (the #1801 race — `child-cleanup.mjs` exports both halves and both are required), should be flagged.
-- **Build output is never a gate target.** Lint, format, and typecheck read first-party source only; everything a build writes (`clients/*/build`, `clients/web/dist`, `storybook-static`, `coverage`, `test-servers/build`, `core/**/{build,dist}`, `*.tsbuildinfo`) stays out via each scope's `globalIgnores`, `format` globs, and tsconfig `include`.

Flag a PR that adds a build location without ignoring it in the same change, that widens an ignore to silence a finding in first-party code, or that adds a build directory to a tsconfig `include` to make a generated `.d.ts` resolve.
