ClawdDotNet als MCP-Server: durch dieselben Pruefstellen (#713)

Eine fremde Laufzeit oder der eigene Claude Code des Menschen spricht per MCP
mit der Instanz. Der Server bietet genau die Werkzeuge des Agenten hinter dem
Token an; jeder Aufruf laeuft durch die Engine wie ein Aufruf des eigenen
Modells (Rechtetor, Vorpruefung, Werkzeugrechte, Staging, Audit mit Quelle
mcp, Rahmung), und der Aufrufer gilt als Leser fremder Inhalte (#715).

Eigener Socket mcp.sock statt manager.sock: ueber den Instanz-Socket antwortet
die Verwaltung ohne Token, ueber mcp.sock gibt es nur /mcp und nur mit
MCP-Token. Lauf-Tokens nur im Speicher, enden mit dem Lauf; persoenliche Tokens
(hoechstens 90 Tage, widerrufbar, nur als SHA-256) in der Agentenansicht.
Transporte: HTTP auf mcp.sock, Weboberflaeche und Manager (/mcp/{instanz}),
stdio ueber ClawdDotNet --mcp-bridge (Token nur aus Umgebung oder 0600-Datei).

    an den Rechten vorbei. Das Token gilt einen Lauf lang und wird nie in der
    Befehlszeile übergeben.
 
+*Der MCP-Server ist gebaut (2026-09-25, #713).* So umgesetzt, mit einer Abweichung vom Plan:
+
+- **Eigener Socket statt des Instanz-Sockets.** Das Konzept sah HTTP über den
+  Unix-Socket der Instanz vor. Über `manager.sock` antwortet aber die ganze Verwaltung
+  ohne Token, weil dort das Dateisystem die Grenze ist. Eine fremde Laufzeit darf ihn
+  deshalb nie bekommen. Der Server hat einen eigenen Socket `mcp.sock` (0600; unter
+  Windows eine eigene Named Pipe). Über ihn gibt es nur `/mcp`, jeder andere Pfad
+  antwortet 404, und `/mcp` öffnet nur ein MCP-Token. Diesen einen Socket bindet später
+  die Sandbox (#654) ein.
+- **Ein Weg für alle Aufrufe:** `AgentEngine.ExecuteExternalToolCallAsync` führt jeden
+  Aufruf durch dieselbe Kette wie einen Aufruf des eigenen Modells: Rechtetor,
+  Vorprüfung, Werkzeugrechte, Staging, Audit (Quelle `mcp`), Rahmung. Der Aufrufer gilt
+  als Leser fremder Inhalte (#715, Quelle `external-runtime`): Eine fremde Laufzeit
+  schreibt keine Prosa in den Kontext ihrer Leitung.
+- **Tokens:** Das Lauf-Token (`McpGrants.OpenRun`) lebt nur im Speicher. Es endet mit dem
+  Handle des Laufs und spätestens nach vier Stunden. Persönliche Tokens für den eigenen
+  Claude Code des Menschen (Agentenansicht, „Externer Zugang“) sind höchstens 90 Tage
+  gültig, jederzeit widerrufbar und nur als SHA-256 gespeichert. Ein Token nennt den
+  Agenten, als der gearbeitet wird; das WebUI-Token öffnet `/mcp` nicht.
+- **Transporte:** HTTP (`POST /mcp`, JSON-Antworten, keine Sitzungen, kein Ereignisstrom;
+  Anfragen mit `Origin` werden abgewiesen) auf `mcp.sock` und auf dem Port der
+  Weboberfläche. Über den Manager ist der Server unter `POST /mcp/{instanz}` erreichbar;
+  der Manager reicht nur weiter, zum MCP-Socket und nie zum Instanz-Socket. Für lokal
+  gestartete Laufzeiten gibt es stdio über `ClawdDotNet --mcp-bridge --instance <dir>`.
+  Das Token kommt aus `CLAWD_MCP_TOKEN` oder aus einer Datei in `CLAWD_MCP_TOKEN_FILE`;
+  die Brücke lehnt die Datei ab, wenn andere sie lesen dürfen.
