Dylan M. Taylor 79579519bd fix(mcp): send the control token only to 127.0.0.1:PORT and read it only from a private file
The bridge picked the token by port alone and sent it to whatever the address resolved to, so a listener another account opened on ::1 with the same port received the desktop's credential. The token is now attached only when the connected peer is exactly 127.0.0.1:PORT, where the app listens. Reading the token refuses a symlink, a non-plain file and a file others can read, and the shared temporary directory is no longer a fallback location for it.
