Subject: [PATCH] fix(publisher): omit repository when URL cannot be detected
 (#1149)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Summary

When `detectRepoURL()` cannot determine the repository (no git remote,
no package.json repository field), return an empty string instead of a
placeholder URL (`https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_REPO`). This
causes `createServerJSON()` to omit the `repository` field entirely,
preventing schema validation failures on publish.

Fixes #613

## Problem

`mcp-publisher init` generated a `repository` object with a placeholder
URL that fails the `uri` format validation on publish. 88 published
servers in the official registry had this issue.

## Change

- `cmd/publisher/commands/init.go`: `detectRepoURL()` returns `""`
instead of placeholder when no repo is found
- The existing guard in `createServerJSON()` (`if repoURL != "" &&
repoSource != ""`) already handles this correctly — it omits the
repository when URL is empty

## Test plan

- [x] `go build ./cmd/publisher/...` compiles
- [x] `go test ./cmd/publisher/commands/...` passes
- [ ] Manual: `mcp-publisher init` in a directory without git remote or
package.json repo — verify no `repository` field in generated
server.json
- [ ] Manual: `mcp-publisher init` in a git repo — verify `repository`
is populated correctly
