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.

## HTTP proxy support
|
||||
|
||||
The web backend connects to remote MCP servers through the shared Node transport (`core/mcp/node/transport.ts`), which honors the conventional proxy environment variables: `HTTPS_PROXY` / `HTTP_PROXY` (and their lowercase forms) select the proxy, and `NO_PROXY` exempts hosts. Routing is powered by [`undici`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/undici)'s `EnvHttpProxyAgent`, imported lazily only when a proxy variable is set, so runs without a proxy configured pay no cost. See the CLI README for more detail.

The proxy sits at the **bottom** of the fetch stack rather than wrapping the transport's fetch, and both undici halves must come from the same copy — see [HTTP proxy support](../cli/README.md#http-proxy-support) in the CLI README for why ([#2067](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector/issues/2067)).
