authn: accept tokens.sr.ht working tokens beside the agent token

A second agent credential plane, next to the existing one rather than in
place of it. The agent_token table, every agent configured with it, and
the refs rule and provenance requirement around it are untouched; the
local plane is removed in a later phase, not this one.

The resolver tries the instance plane first and falls back to the local
store on exactly two refusals, bearer.ErrInvalid and bearer.ErrNotOurs.
spec's local token has no prefix to discriminate on — it is 32 random
bytes in base64, which is precisely what "did not decode as one of ours"
looks like — so the fallback replaces the shape test bench and cover can
afford. ErrRevoked, ErrForbidden and ErrUnavailable are terminal: a
withdrawn credential must not get a second chance at the old door, and an
unreachable daemon must not silently degrade into the legacy plane.

Grants ride on the principal and are checked where the action is known,
never in the middleware, which runs upstream of the router: spec:propose
in service.Propose, below both write surfaces, and spec:read in each read
surface's gate. /mcp checks per tool rather than at its Gate, because one
endpoint carries both kinds and a surface-wide read grant would refuse a
propose-only token at initialize. Principal.Authorize is a no-op off the
instance plane, which is what keeps the local token working.

The instance plane brings an owner where the local token had none, so a
working token belonging to anybody but [sr.ht] owner-name is refused
rather than admitted as a second identity: Principal.Owner is read by the
provenance committer, the refs rule's principal kind and the coreauth
AuthContext, all written for one human.

StatusFor is the one status table. ErrUnavailable is 503 and never 401 —
reading "I could not ask tokens.sr.ht" as "revoked" would refuse every
live instance token while a daemon that is deliberately off the hot path
restarts.

An instance with no [tokens.sr.ht] section builds no instance plane and
starts anyway, serving its own agent token as before.

feat(mcpsrv): MCP read tools, with Host validation replacing the SDK guard

Adds the Phase 2 read tools (spec_search, spec_read, spec_list) over the
service layer.

Two security fixes came out of building them.

The read plane could serve proposal content. gitx resolves ref names, and
service.resolveRev passed any string through, so rev=proposals/42 made the
READ plane hand back unreviewed text — which would then flow into agent
context as though approved, the single failure this service exists to
prevent. ValidateReadRev now admits only the approved-head sentinel or a
full 40-character object name, at the layer all three surfaces share.
Abbreviations are refused too: one that is unique today can become
ambiguous later, so a pinned revision would silently stop meaning one
thing.

The MCP SDK's DNS-rebinding guard rejects a loopback listener whose Host
is not loopback, which is exactly nginx forwarding to 127.0.0.1 — it would
403 only in production, passing every local test. The SDK offers no
allowlist, so the guard is disabled and replaced by a stricter check: Host
must equal the configured origin, or a loopback name for development. A
rebinding attack carries the attacker's name in Host and fails it. An
unusable origin logs loudly rather than quietly unguarding the endpoint.
