It’s Time for a Bugfix Throwdown

This release is all about stability and quality of life with a buncha fixes around MCP, server-client, and odds and ends. Here's what’s inside:

• UX: Typing clear in the command will match Summarize; thanks, @joestump!
• LSP: @piakdev fixed a case where LSP could panic
• MCP: Slow loading MCPs could block messages from being sent: we reduce default timeout
• Server-Client: MCP OAuth didn't work in server-client mode; now it does
• Server-Client: Clients in the same workspace could kill each other: not anymore
• Server-Client: When the server is running over TCP keystrokes no longer hit the server and slow everything down
• Hyper: Added various small improvements for better UX

Thanks for using Crush. Have good weekend!
