Copilot review round 3.
- Rename the `--strict` failure from "invalid" to "unportable"
(`EXIT_CODES.SCHEMA_UNPORTABLE`, envelope `schema_unportable`, and the
message text). The module argues at length that these schemas ARE
valid JSON Schema and are merely refused by some clients, so a
machine-readable code of `schema_invalid` told automated callers the
opposite. Done now, while nothing depends on it.
- Add a fixture-path integration case. Every other test built a
`ServerConfig` by hand, so `resolveConfig`'s `rawToolSchemas`
forwarding was uncovered and `unportable-schemas-http.json` was loaded
by nothing — the shipped fixture could have lost its overrides with
the suite still green. It now goes through loadConfig/resolveConfig
and asserts the exact per-tool verdict the README claims.
- Refresh the CLI README's sample output, which still showed the
pre-round-2 wording and fixture, and so dropped the contract warning
that rewording existed to add. Captured from a real run rather than
written by hand, plus a paragraph making the suggestion pattern
explicit.
- Drop the self-referential "[Try it](#unportable-tool-schemas)" link in
the root README, which pointed back at its own section.

- Scope `non-object-root` to `inputSchema`. The pinned SDK types
`inputSchema` with `type: literal("object")` but `outputSchema` as a
bare `looseObject`, so a `{"type":"string"}` output is conforming; the
rule was claiming a requirement MCP does not make, at error severity.
- Decide `untyped-schema` from an allowlist of constraining keywords
rather than a denylist of annotations. JSON Schema ignores keywords it
does not recognize, so `{"vendorHint": true}` accepts every value and a
denylist passed it as constrained. `$defs`-only schemas now flag too.
- Walk `dependentSchemas` and draft-07 `dependencies`, with a test
pinning that the property-name-array form is not a schema position.
- Suggest `anyOf` branches for an array-form `type`, never "drop it from
`required`" — accepting `null` and permitting absence are independent
contracts, so the old suggestion silently changed the schema's meaning.
- Reject `--strict` alongside `--app-info`. That path returns NDJSON from
`runMethod` and never reaches the lint, so the flag was a no-op gate
that could never fail.
- Colour the web sidebar flag from the `--inspector-*` severity tokens,
matching the detail panel and avoiding the default yellow that failed
the a11y check.
- Add a live integration test for `rawToolSchemas`. It caught that an
`outputSchema` override on a preset returning no structured content
makes every call to that tool fail client-side validation — the
showcase config did exactly that, so the flagged tool could not be
run. Moved the bare `true` onto `get_temp`, documented the caveat, and
pinned both halves.
- Drop the double cast from the lint test fixture.

Closes#1005
A tool schema can be perfectly legal JSON Schema and still be rejected by
the client the server is meant to run against — Go's `jsonschema` emits a
bare `true` for `interface{}`, which the SDK accepts and Claude Code
refuses with an opaque "Invalid input". The Inspector passed it through
silently.
Adds `core/json/schemaLint.ts`, a portability lint over a tool's
inputSchema/outputSchema, and surfaces one shared verdict everywhere:
the CLI's `--strict` report (exit 6 on an error-severity finding), the
TUI's tool list marker + detail pane, and the web Tools sidebar flag +
detail section.
Deliberately not a JSON Schema validator: a census of 617 public servers
found zero that fail the SDK's own parse, so a conformance check would
report nothing on real servers. Each rule is instead a construct that is
legal JSON Schema and known to be refused or mishandled by a shipping
client — a bare boolean in a schema position, an array-form `type`, a
remote `$ref`, a schema with no validation keyword, a non-object root.
`test-servers/configs/unportable-schemas-http.json` exercises every rule,
via a new `rawToolSchemas` override — the Zod-built presets cannot emit
any of these shapes, which is the same reason a real server only hits
this when its schemas come from another generator.
