`clients/web/static/sandbox_proxy.html` is a committed source file, not a
build artifact, and it was never listed in the root package.json "files"
allowlist. `sandbox-controller.ts` reads it at runtime as
`<runner dir>/../static/sandbox_proxy.html`, so it resolved fine in-repo but
was absent from every published tarball — the read threw and the controller
served its "Sandbox not loaded" fallback page, breaking the Apps tab for
anyone running `npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector`.
v1 shipped the equivalent as `server/static` in both the root and the server
workspace "files" lists; that entry has no counterpart in v2.
Add `clients/web/static` to the allowlist, and assert it in pack:verify twice
over — once in the tarball packlist and once on disk after install, since what
the runtime needs is the path *relative to* clients/web/build rather than mere
presence in the tarball.
No .npmignore change is needed: clients/web/.gitignore does not list `static`,
so the nested-gitignore packlist hazard that hid `build/` does not apply here.
