* feat(web): build dist on demand for prod --web + end-to-end CI smoke (#1486)
Prod `mcp-inspector --web` serves static assets from clients/web/dist,
which only exists after a build. In a fresh checkout it was absent and the
prod path served a broken page (ENOENT on index.html); the launcher smoke
test only covered --help, so this path was unverified in CI.
- ensure-web-build.ts: build dist on demand (vite build via build:client)
when missing, or exit with an actionable error if the build can't run.
- run-web.ts: invoke ensureWebBuild before startHonoServer in the prod path
(--dev runs Vite directly and skips it).
- scripts/smoke-web.mjs + smoke:web: start --web against built dist and
assert GET / returns 200 with the injected __INSPECTOR_API_TOKEN__.
Wired into validate:launcher and a new CI step.
- Docs: launcher README + AGENTS.md.

* fix(web): surface spawn error in build-on-demand; clarify smoke comment
Address PR #1497 review:
- runViteBuild now logs result.error.message (e.g. ENOENT when npm isn't on
PATH) before returning a null status, so the spawn-failure cause surfaces
instead of only the generic actionable error. The build seam gains a `log`
param; added a test covering the ENOENT path.
- Reword scripts/smoke-web.mjs header so it no longer implies the readiness
wait covers a cold build-on-demand vite build (it's sized for a pre-built
dist, which validate/CI guarantee).
