* fix(mcp): eager-auth flag on the Grok connector links so Grok starts OAuth

Live test after #2158: pasting the Grok URL into grok.com's custom
connector dialog listed all 150+ tools and never opened the sign-in. Grok
probes the URL without credentials, like claude.ai, and reads the lazy
200 on initialize as an authless server; only the 401 challenge starts
OAuth (#2159 fixed the same thing for the claude.ai link).

- lib/onboarding/checklist.ts: mcpServerUrl() builds the server URL with
  an optional eagerAuth flag; sideDoorServerUrl() gives the Grok side door
  auth=required and keeps ChatGPT lazy; claudeConnectorLink() reuses it.
  SIDE_DOORS / SideDoor move here from the component. Tests for all three.
- NewUserChecklist copies the door-specific URL (now with a client marker).
- ApiKeysPanel's Grok row copies the flagged URL, mirroring the Claude one.
- auth-mode.ts comment records the second consumer; registry entry's Grok
  step carries the flag; DECISIONS.

* docs(mcp): registry Claude.ai step carries auth=required too

Review pass on #2167: the registry entry flagged the Grok install URL
but left the Claude.ai step on the bare URL, which pre-fills "None" in
claude.ai's dialog (#2159). Same file, same flag, now consistent.

678acfe7ef fix(mcp): eager-auth flag so claude.ai's connector dialog detects OAuth, not "None" (#2159)
claude.ai's two-step "Add custom connector" dialog probes the server URL
without credentials and pre-fills the Authentication choice from the
answer. Our lazy-auth endpoint (issue #1814) answers 200 on an anonymous
initialize, which the dialog reads as an authless server: it suggests
"None", and a connector added with that default never opens the sign-in
when the challenge arrives later. Per Anthropic's connector docs a 401 is
the only answer it reads as OAuth ("Claude does not honor a
WWW-Authenticate header on a 200 response").

- `auth=required` on the endpoint URL (extensions/general/mcp-server/
  auth-mode.ts) turns lazy auth off for that URL: every tokenless
  request, initialize included, answers the 401 + WWW-Authenticate
  challenge. Callers with a token are unaffected; the bare URL keeps
  lazy auth for Claude Code, the plugin, Cursor and ChatGPT, and existing
  connector records are untouched.
- The links we control carry the flag: Settings -> API & MCP (install
  link and copy block), the onboarding checklist, both docs pages and
  claude-plugin/CONNECTORS.md (plugin 1.2.3). The docs' Path A now
  describes the eager flow (sign-in opens on Add) instead of telling
  users to override the dialog's "None".
- Tests: eager-auth.test.ts (401 on initialize/tools/list/public tools,
  namespaced metadata pointer, token no-op, exact-flag only); checklist
  link shape updated.
