Chris CoutinhoandClaude Opus 4.8 11522f88b0 refactor(auth): drop built-in well-known MCP client list
The client registry derived display names from a hardcoded map of
"well-known" MCP clients (claude-desktop, claude-ai, continue-dev,
zed-editor, vscode-mcp). This baked a recognized-client list into the
server even though admission already requires explicit opt-in via
ALLOWED_MCP_CLIENTS (fail-closed when unset).

Mirror the management-API surface (ALLOWED_MGMT_CLIENT), which has no
built-in client list: remove the map and derive the display name
generically from the client_id. Default remains none; clients must be
added explicitly and DCR stays off unless ENABLE_DCR=true.
