* feat(web): catalog vs read-only session launch model + apply --header (#1481, #1483)
Per specification/v2_catalog_launch_config.md, `mcp-inspector --web` now selects
the backend's server-list source and a session-wide writability, instead of
seeding an inert `initialMcpConfig` the UI never read:
- `--catalog <path>` (and `MCP_CATALOG_PATH`) → active WRITABLE catalog
(seed/CRUD/watch), like the default catalog.
- `--config <path>` → READ-ONLY session file: served in the UI but never
written, seeded, or plaintext-secret-migrated — safe to point at a foreign
config (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json).
- ad-hoc `--server-url`/command (+ `--header`) → one server held IN MEMORY
(no file written); `--header` is lifted onto the entry so the seeded
connection actually uses it (closes the #1483 warn-only no-op).
- nothing → default catalog (writable), unchanged.
Backend (`createRemoteApp`): new `writable` + `initialServers` options. GET
/api/servers branches three ways (in-memory / read-only file with no
seed+no migrate / writable catalog); the four mutating routes return 403 when
read-only; `/api/config` carries `writable`; the file watcher is skipped for
in-memory sessions. `--catalog`/`--config` are mutually exclusive and neither
combines with an ad-hoc target or `--header`; `--header` requires an ad-hoc
HTTP/SSE server (clear errors otherwise — no silent no-op).
UI: `useServerListWritable` reads `writable` from /api/config; the Servers
screen hides add/edit/clone/remove/reorder/settings and shows a read-only
banner when false. All new props default to writable=true (back-compatible).
Docs: spec gaps G2/G3/G4 updated; launcher README documents the flags.
Verified end-to-end against the built launcher: --config (writable:false,
file byte-stable, mutations 403), ad-hoc --header (in-memory, header lifted),
and --catalog (writable:true, POST persists).

* refactor(web): address review — Mantine <Code> in read-only banner, clarify watcher comment
- Replace raw <code> with Mantine <Code> in the read-only-session Alert
(repo convention: prefer Mantine primitives over raw HTML).
- Add a comment near `watchable` clarifying that a read-only `--config` file
is still watched on purpose (read-only blocks UI writes, not external
observation; `writable` does not gate watching).
Deferred (per reviewer): consolidating useSandboxUrl + useServerListWritable
into one useConfig hook to avoid the duplicate /api/config fetch — optional
follow-up. The redundant ad-hoc header type-guard is kept as defensive.

* feat(servers): export server list as mcp.json download (#1346)
Adds an Export button to the Servers screen, next to "Add Servers".
Clicking it downloads the current server list as a canonical mcp.json
file (2-space indent, same shape serializeStore writes), so the user
can hand it off, sync it to another machine, or symlink into Claude
Desktop / Cursor / Cline.
Wiring:
- ServerListControls: new Export Button (variant=default), disabled
when serverCount === 0 (nothing to download).
- ServerListScreen / InspectorView: thread `onExport` / `onServerExport`
through.
- App.tsx: onServerExport runs serverEntriesToMcpConfig on the in-memory
servers list, JSON.stringify with 2-space indent, and triggers a Blob
download via a temporary anchor (appended to body for Firefox
compatibility, then removed; object URL revoked).
Tests:
- ServerListControls unit tests cover button-count (toggle hidden vs
shown, Export always present), disabled-on-empty, click fires onExport.
- ServerListControls.stories grows play functions for both stories —
WithServers asserts Export is enabled + click fires the spy in real
Chromium, WithoutServers asserts Export is disabled.
- Existing screen + view tests / stories updated for the new prop.

* fix(servers): address PR #1351 review (extract helpers + exception safety + guard)
Substantive items from the review:
1. Serialization format parity (review #1): added
`serializeMcpConfig(entries)` to core/mcp/serverList.ts — a
browser-safe helper that runs `serverEntriesToMcpConfig` then
stringifies with 2-space indent. Single source of truth for export
formatting; can't drift from serializeStore's on-disk shape.
2. Exception safety on the anchor cleanup (review #2) + a direct test
for the App.tsx download wiring (review #6): extracted
`downloadJsonFile(filename, json)` to clients/web/src/lib/
downloadFile.ts. removeChild + revokeObjectURL run in a `finally`
so a thrown click() doesn't leak the DOM node or the object URL.
Unit-tested under happy-dom with URL.createObjectURL mocked
(happy-dom doesn't ship it).
3. Empty-list guard (review #5): App.tsx onServerExport bails when
`servers.length === 0`. The button's disabled prop already prevents
the UI path, but the handler is now locally correct against any
future programmatic caller (storybook, keyboard shortcut, etc.).
Acknowledged but not changed:
- Tooltip on the disabled Export button (review #3) — Mantine's
disabled-button + Tooltip wart wants a span wrapper + custom events
config. Optional per the reviewer; deferred.
- Repeated exports → `mcp (1).json` browser suffix (review #4) — a
deliberate trade-off since `mcp.json` is the conventional name a user
would expect to symlink into Claude Desktop / Cursor / etc.
Tests: 1647 unit (+6) + 410 integration + 306 storybook = 2363 green.

* test(coverage): bootstrap vitest unit infra and add tests at 90%+ per file (#1245)
Establishes the unit-test runtime AGENTS.md mandates: a vitest "unit"
project alongside the existing storybook project, RTL + jest-dom +
happy-dom, a Mantine-aware render helper, and a 90%-line per-file
coverage gate enforced by CI. Adds 66 test files covering all 62
components under elements/groups/screens/views, plus core/mcp and
clients/web/src/utils. Total: 577 tests, 98.7% line coverage globally.

* test(coverage): address PR #1269 review feedback
- AGENTS.md: correct coverage gate description (lines ≥ 90, statements ≥ 85,
functions ≥ 80, branches ≥ 50) with rationale for the relaxed branch
threshold
- InspectorView.test.tsx: document what the Math.random() mock values
(0.1 / 0.99) control vs. STUB_SUCCESS_RATE in InspectorView.tsx
- vite.config.ts / tsconfig.test.json: drop unused `globals: true` and the
`vitest/globals` type now that every test file imports describe/it/expect/vi
explicitly; manual `afterEach(cleanup)` in setup.ts remains required because
testing-library auto-cleanup relies on globalThis.afterEach
