fix(mcp): register managed installs with a resolvable headroom command (#1386)
## Description

Managed Headroom installs can register the MCP server with a bare
`headroom mcp serve` command even when the active runtime lives in a
venv outside `PATH`. That leaves Claude and Codex with a registration
they cannot re-launch reliably, and Claude eventually fails with `Failed
to reconnect to headroom: ENOENT`.

This PR reuses the existing runtime command resolver when building the
shared Headroom MCP spec, so the generated registration follows the
active install instead of assuming `headroom` is globally discoverable.
It also updates the shared-builder and registrar tests so the proof rows
now flow through `build_headroom_spec()` and prove the same resolved
command contract on both the Claude CLI path and the Codex TOML path. A
follow-up CI fix keeps the Docker init E2E expectation aligned with that
same resolver-backed contract.

Closes #487

## Type of Change

- [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
- [ ] New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
- [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing
functionality to change)
- [ ] Documentation update
- [ ] Performance improvement
- [ ] Code refactoring (no functional changes)

## Changes Made

- `headroom/mcp_registry/install.py`: build the Headroom MCP server spec
from the canonical runtime command resolver instead of hardcoding
`headroom mcp serve`
- `tests/test_mcp_registry/test_install.py`: cover the shared builder's
direct-binary and module-fallback command shapes
- `tests/test_mcp_registry/test_claude_registrar.py`: prove the Claude
CLI registration forwards the resolved command vector end to end
- `tests/test_mcp_registry/test_codex_registrar.py`: prove the Codex
registrar writes the same resolved command vector into TOML
- `e2e/init/run.py`: derive the Docker init E2E's expected Claude MCP
registration argv from `resolve_headroom_command()` so the CI harness
follows the same runtime contract
- `CHANGELOG.md`: note the managed-install MCP registration fix

## Testing

- [x] Unit tests pass (`uv run pytest
tests/test_mcp_registry/test_install.py -v`, `uv run pytest
tests/test_mcp_registry/test_claude_registrar.py -v`, `uv run pytest
tests/test_mcp_registry/test_codex_registrar.py -v`)
- [x] Linting passes (`uv run ruff check .`)
- [ ] Type checking passes (`uv run mypy headroom`) or explain N/A
truthfully
- [x] New tests added for new functionality when applicable
- [ ] Manual testing performed

`uv run mypy headroom` was not run locally; this repo's focused local
gate for the touched Python registry path is the targeted pytest set
plus Ruff.

## Real Behavior Proof

- Environment: managed-install-safe MCP registration path, Python 3.11+,
no provider required
- Exact command / steps: run the focused MCP registry pytest files,
inspect the captured Claude CLI argv and rendered Codex TOML block, and
verify the Docker init E2E expectation derives its Claude MCP argv from
the same runtime helper
- Observed result: the persisted MCP registration uses a resolvable
command tied to the active Headroom runtime instead of bare `headroom`,
while `HEADROOM_PROXY_URL` handling stays unchanged
- Not tested: full live Claude reconnect against a real managed venv,
unless that is run during implementation

## Additional Notes

- Scoped to the MCP registration slice in `#487`. The RTK hook rewriting
thread from the same issue is intentionally out of scope here.
- `@erikpr1994` isolated the managed-install `ENOENT` failure mode in
the issue thread and narrowed it to the bare-command MCP registration
path.
- If existing owned registrations with the old bare-command contract
need an in-place upgrade path, that should be handled explicitly in the
final diff rather than left implicit.
