1//! Optional remote MCP transport over Streamable HTTP.
2//!
3//! This is what lets a cloud client (e.g. ChatGPT "developer mode" custom
4//! connectors) talk to winx. The default stdio transport is for local clients
5//! (Claude Desktop, Cursor); this one serves the MCP protocol over HTTP at
6//! `/mcp` so it can sit behind an HTTPS tunnel (cloudflared/ngrok).
7//!
8//! # SECURITY
9//! winx exposes arbitrary shell execution and filesystem access. Serving it over
10//! the network is effectively remote code execution on this machine. Therefore:
11//! - a non-empty bearer token is **required**; every request must present it via
12//!   the `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header (header-only — a `?token=` query
13//!   parameter would leak the secret into proxy/tunnel logs and browser history);
14//! - bind to a loopback address and put an authenticated HTTPS tunnel in front —
15//!   never expose this straight to `0.0.0.0` on an untrusted network;
16//! - turn it off when you're done testing.
