+ * ConnectAuthModal — opened when the user clicks "Connect" on an installed MCP
+ * server. Lets the user supply auth before connecting:
+ *
+ *   • Known fields — keys the registry declares as required (`required_env_keys`,
+ *     e.g. an `Authorization` header for an HTTP-remote server) plus any keys
+ *     already stored on the install. Rendered as secret inputs.
+ *   • Custom headers — free-form name/value rows for servers whose registry
+ *     metadata declares no auth (mislabelled remotes like inference.sh) where
+ *     the user nonetheless has a token to paste (e.g. `Authorization: Bearer …`).
+ *
+ * On submit, non-empty values are persisted via `update_env` (which stores them
+ * encrypted and reconnects); for HTTP-remote installs each entry becomes a
+ * request header on connect (see core `build_http_auth`). When the user supplies
+ * nothing, we just connect — open servers need no auth.
+ *
+ * This is the upfront (non-reactive) auth step: it always appears on Connect so
+ * the user can set credentials before the first attempt, rather than only after
+ * a 401.

+## Your tool surface
+
+- **`mcp_registry_status`** — list the user's installed servers and their connection state (`connected` / `disconnected` / `error` / `disabled`) plus a tool count. Your starting point: find the connected server whose `server_id` you'll act on.
+- **`mcp_registry_installed_list`** — list installed servers (names + ids) when you need the registry view rather than live status.
+- **`mcp_registry_list_tools`** — given a connected server's `server_id`, return its tools with names, descriptions, and input schemas. This is how you learn what a server can do — call it before guessing a tool name or arguments.
+- **`mcp_registry_connect`** — connect (or reconnect) an installed-but-disconnected server by `server_id`, returning its tools. Use only when `status` shows the server you need is not currently connected but is installed + enabled.
+- **`mcp_registry_tool_call`** — invoke one tool: `{ server_id, tool_name, arguments }`. `arguments` must match the tool's input schema from `mcp_registry_list_tools`.
+- **`resolve_time`** — turn any relative phrase ("last 24h", "since Monday") into an exact timestamp before passing it as a tool argument. Never hand-compute epoch seconds.
+- **`ask_user_clarification`** — natural-language checkpoints when the request is ambiguous (which server, which document, which arguments).
+
+You have **nothing else** — no shell, no file I/O, no general HTTP. Everything you do flows through a connected MCP server.
+
+## Standard flow
+
+1. **Find the server.** Call `mcp_registry_status`. Pick the `connected` server that matches the request. If the obvious server shows `disconnected` (but installed + enabled), call `mcp_registry_connect(server_id)` to bring it live. If nothing relevant is connected or installed, tell the user and suggest `setup_mcp_server`.
+2. **Discover its tools.** Call `mcp_registry_list_tools(server_id)`. Read the tool names + input schemas; choose the tool that best answers the request.
+3. **Call the tool.** Call `mcp_registry_tool_call({ server_id, tool_name, arguments })` with arguments that satisfy the schema. Resolve any time windows via `resolve_time` first.
+4. **Read the result.** The result has `is_error` and a `result` payload (usually MCP `content` blocks). If `is_error: true`, surface the error plainly and, if it looks like a bad argument, fix the arguments and retry once. If a search-style tool returns empty, try a more targeted tool or query before concluding there's nothing.
+5. **Answer.** Summarise the tool's output as a direct answer to the user's request. Cite which server + tool you used.
+
+## Hard rules
+
+- **Connected only.** Never attempt to install or add a server. If it's not connected and can't be connected from installed state, stop and recommend setup.
+- **Schema-driven arguments.** Build `arguments` from the tool's `input_schema`, not from memory. Don't invent parameters.
+- **One question at a time.** If you must clarify, ask once, specifically.
+- **Be honest about empty/failed results.** If the server genuinely has no answer, say so — don't fabricate content the tool didn't return.
+
+## When you're done
+
+Return the answer the connected MCP server produced, noting the server + tool you used and any caveats (stale data, empty result, partial match). Hand control back to the user / orchestrator.

+//! Browser-OAuth for HTTP-remote MCP servers (MCP authorization spec).
+//!
+//! Many remote MCP servers gate access behind OAuth 2.0 (authorization-code +
+//! PKCE), advertised via a `401` challenge pointing at an
+//! `oauth-protected-resource` document. This module runs that flow for the
+//! desktop app using the **loopback redirect** approach (RFC 8252): the core's
+//! own HTTP server hosts `/oauth/mcp/callback`, so no extra listener is needed.
+//!
+//! Flow:
+//!   1. [`detect`]  — classify a server: `none` / `token` / `oauth`.
+//!   2. [`begin`]   — discover the authorization server, **dynamically register**
+//!                    a client (RFC 7591, capturing any issued `client_secret`),
+//!                    generate PKCE, stash the pending state, and return the live
+//!                    `/authorize` URL for the frontend to open in a browser.
+//!   3. [`complete`]— called by the `/oauth/mcp/callback` route with `code`+`state`:
+//!                    exchange the code (PKCE verifier + client creds) for an
+//!                    access token, store it as the server's `Authorization`
+//!                    header (reusing the `build_http_auth` connect path), and
+//!                    reconnect.
+//!
+//! v1 stores the access token only (≈1h lifetime); refresh-token rotation is a
+//! follow-up. The `client_secret` requirement was confirmed live against alpic,
+//! which issues a confidential client despite a public-client request.
