feat(web,core): import client configs and registry server.json (#1348) (#1511)
* feat(web,core): import client configs and registry server.json (#1348)

Wire up the two server-import affordances that were previously todoNoop:

- Import config: source picker (Claude Desktop / Cursor / Cline / VS Code)
  read on the backend via a new GET /api/import-source, plus a file-upload
  fallback. Per-server review with import/skip on new servers and
  overwrite/skip/rename on id conflicts, then a per-server outcome summary.
- Import server.json: parse the MCP registry single-server format
  (npm/pypi/oci packages + remotes, env vars, package/runtime args, URL
  template vars) into a runnable config, with a file picker and debounced
  live validation; Add Server is disabled until validation passes.

Core gains an isomorphic import strategy layer (core/mcp/import) with a
strategy registry, client-config + server.json parsers, a strategy-agnostic
merge, and a dependency-injected source resolver. useServers exposes
importSource(). Modal headers are bold and the redundant server.json section
header is folded into the modal title.

* feat(web): collapse the server.json textarea into a File Contents disclosure

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(web): auto-collapse File Contents disclosure after content loads

Once content is pasted or a file is loaded, collapse the File Contents
disclosure after ~1s with Mantine's built-in accordion animation, signaling
the input was accepted and surfacing the validation/env-var sections. The
disclosure becomes controlled by the modal; clearing the textarea re-opens it.

* feat(web): flash File Contents hover highlight before auto-collapse

Before the File Contents disclosure auto-collapses, paint it with its hover
background for 250ms, then run the collapse over a 325ms animation, so the
collapse reads as intentional.

* feat(web): rename "Import server.json" to "Import from registry config"

Rename the Add Servers menu entry and the modal header.

* feat(web): rename "Import config" to "Import client config"

Rename the Add Servers menu entry and the modal header.

* refactor(web,core): move import orchestration into core helpers + web hooks

Make the import logic reusable by CLI/TUI and keep the modals display-only:

- core/mcp/import: add parseClientConfig (mcpServers→servers fallback),
  resolveServerId, selectServerJsonOption, and buildServerConfigForSelection,
  so the full import (parse → select → build → merge) is callable from any
  environment.
- core/storage: extract the pure validateStoreId into a Node-free store-id
  module (store-io re-exports it) so the isomorphic import layer can validate
  ids without pulling Node deps into the browser bundle.
- clients/web/hooks: useServerJsonImport and useImportClientConfig own all the
  wizard/parse/debounce/apply state; ServerImportConfigModal and
  ServerImportJsonModal are now thin display shells over the dumb panel.

* feat(web): rename "Import client config" to "Import from client config"

* feat(web): remove the Cancel button from the registry import modal

The modal header X (and Escape) still dismiss it; drop the redundant Cancel
button (and the panel onCancel prop).

* feat(web): hide validation results + name override until content is present

In the registry import modal, the Validation Results section and the Server
Name override field stay hidden until something has been pasted/loaded into the
textarea.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(web): make Validation Results a collapsible disclosure

Wrap the registry import modal's validation results in a Mantine accordion
disclosure (default open), matching the File Contents section.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(web): Server Name disclosure with read-only derived name + override

Make Server Name a collapsible disclosure containing a read-only "From
configuration" field (the id derived from the server.json name) and the
editable Override field.

* feat(web): scroll to and highlight a freshly-added server

After a manual add/clone or an import (client config / registry), the new
server's card scrolls into view and draws an animated border (Mantine Border
Animate); clicking anywhere on the card dismisses it.

- App tracks highlightedServerId; addServerHighlighted sets it (edits and
  conflict-overwrites don't). Threaded through InspectorView -> ServerListScreen
  -> ServerCard.
- ServerCard scrolls into view on highlight and wraps in <BorderAnimate>;
  onClick clears the highlight.
- Pin @gfazioli/mantine-border-animate@2.0.3 (Mantine 8 compatible; 2.0.4+
  requires Mantine 9).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(web): highlighted card fills its cell and its controls work on first click

- The BorderAnimate wrapper is display:flex, so the card was shrinking to
  content width while the border spanned the cell. Stretch the card with
  w=100% (and the wrapper).
- Always render BorderAnimate and toggle show/animate instead of conditionally
  wrapping: swapping the element type on clear remounted the card, swallowing
  the click that triggered it (e.g. the connect toggle fired clear but not
  connect, needing a second click). Verified: one click now connects + clears.

* fix(web,core): address review — OCI env, untrack fixture, rename validation

- Untrack the stray inspector-v1-multi.server.json (accidentally committed) and
  gitignore root *.server.json fixtures.
- core/mcp/import/serverJson: forward declared env vars into OCI containers via
  '-e KEY' docker args (they previously only set the docker CLI process env);
  add a test. Clarify buildServerConfig (destructure env out instead of
  spread-then-delete) and document value-vs-default env handling.
- useImportClientConfig: validate 'rename' targets inline (invalid charset /
  collision with existing, additions, or other renames) and gate the Import
  button on canImport; surface the error on the field.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(web): highlight all servers from a batch import, not just the last

Track highlighted servers as a set of ids instead of one. addServerHighlighted
accumulates each id (a multi-server client-config import highlights them all);
opening an add/import modal starts a fresh batch. Clicking a card clears only
that card's highlight; only the first highlighted card scrolls into view.

/**
* Parser for the official MCP Registry `server.json` format (the file
* `mcp-publisher init` generates and publishes). Distinct from the client-config
* parsers: a `server.json` describes a *single* server via one or more runnable
* `packages` and/or `remotes`, and carries publish-time metadata
* (`environmentVariables`, `packageArguments`, URL `variables`) that has to be
* mapped onto a runnable Inspector `MCPServerConfig`.
*
* Pure + isomorphic (no Node deps). The web wiring layer (`useServerJsonImport`)
* turns the parsed options into the props the dumb `ImportServerJsonPanel`
* renders, then calls `buildServerConfig` once the user has filled in env vars.
*
* Schema reference: https://static.modelcontextprotocol.io/schemas/2025-12-11/server.schema.json
* The published `server.json` file uses camelCase keys (`registryType`,
* `runtimeHint`, `environmentVariables`, …); the registry REST API has
* historically returned the same fields in snake_case. We read both so a blob
* copied from either source imports cleanly.
