feat(mcp): unpark the gitea server — it needs no AgentSecrets token
gitea-mcp was parked alongside cad on the stated reason that nothing puts its
token into the session environment: GITEA_MCP_STATIC_TOKEN lives in the
AgentSecrets vault, which the session identity deliberately cannot read
(infra#224), so enabling it was blocked behind #32/#33.

That reason never applied to gitea. gitea-mcp authenticates by PASS-THROUGH:
the bearer is a Gitea PAT, which the server validates against Gitea and then
acts as. No dedicated MCP token exists to be missing. DMABE_GITEA_API_TOKEN is
op://HomeLab and already in the session environment.

Verified on koala 2026-09-07 against tailscale serve 8446 -> NodePort 30340:
initialize returns 200 with serverInfo gitea-mcp, tools/list returns 41 tools.
Two DIFFERENT PATs both authenticate while GITEA_MCP_TOKEN 401s -- that is what
proves pass-through validation rather than a static-token comparison, and it
also shows GITEA_MCP_TOKEN is stale (it 401s against git-mcp.d-ma.be too).

cad stays parked; its blocker is real and unchanged.

Also adds bin/check-mcp-env and tests/mcp_config_test.sh, wired into task check.
The fault it gates is silent: a header interpolating an undefined variable does
not error, it sends an empty Authorization, and Claude Code reports "requires
authentication" -- indistinguishable from a revoked credential. That cost a full
investigation on koala today before the credential turned out to be fine. The
check exits 2 rather than 0 when it cannot run (no jq, no env-file, as in CI),
so an unverified config is never reported as a clean one. Servers under _parked
are exempt: referencing an unprovided variable is what parked means.

Bump-Type: minor

# check-mcp-env — assert every variable a live MCP server interpolates is one
# the session env-file actually defines.
#
# Why this is a gate and not a comment: the failure is silent. A header of
# "Bearer ${FOO}" where FOO is undefined does not error -- it goes out empty,
# the server answers 401, and Claude Code reports "requires authentication",
# which reads exactly like a revoked credential. On 2026-09-07 that cost a
# full investigation on koala before the credential turned out to be fine.
#
# Servers under `_parked` are exempt by design. Parked means "reachable, but
# nothing puts its token in the environment yet" -- flagging those would
# report the intended state as a fault.
#
# Usage: check-mcp-env <mcp.json> <env-file>
#
# Exit 0 every live server's variables are defined
# 1 at least one is not, named on stderr
# 2 could not verify (bad usage, unreadable input, jq absent).
# Deliberately distinct from 0: an unverified config is not a clean
# one, and a gate that cannot run should say so rather than pass.
