Addresses the suppressed review comment on #2099, which was the sharpest of the
three rounds: the guard stopped looking at a package the moment its `external`
entry was removed — so deleting `"undici"` from the web config would have made
the pre-fix bundle pass. That is self-referential, and #2067 was precisely a
MISSING declaration, so the guard covered its regression but not the bug.
Candidates are now the union of two independently-derived lists: each client's
`external` array, and the root manifest's `dependencies` — root-declared by
rule, reached through `core/`, and required to be external in every client
bundle. Removing a package from an `external` list can no longer remove it from
scrutiny.
That immediately surfaced one latent instance of the same rule violation:
`@modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps` is root-declared and reached through
`core/mcp/apps.ts`, but was absent from the CLI's `external` list and was being
inlined into `index.js` — dragging the transitive v1 SDK and zod-to-json-schema
in with it. It is ESM, so it was not failing the way `undici` did; what it
violated was the rule. Adding it drops the CLI bundle from 590KB to 518KB.
It is also a real example of the shape the previous revision could not see: it
was inlined into the entry, emitting no `<pkg>-HASH.js` chunk at all.
