sysadmin ae6f0b74db fix(guard): close allow_test_bootstrap and basename entrypoint bypasses (#695)
Remove the public allow_test_bootstrap production seam so caller-controlled
flags cannot forge native mutation provenance. Bind provenance to the resolved
canonical entrypoint path plus a live stdio transport bind; basename-only
mcp_server.py stack frames and import-only launch no longer authorize
mutations. Test-mode install_test_native_runtime is pytest-only and cannot
reach production Gitea mutation endpoints. Add AC9 regressions for both
reviewer-found bypasses and related spoof vectors.

"""Sanctioned MCP daemon guards for imports and credential access (#558 / #695).
Direct ``import gitea_mcp_server`` from a shell bypasses native MCP transport.
#558 introduced a daemon marker; #695 hardens it so:
- Environment variables alone cannot reconstruct a native session
(``GITEA_MCP_SANCTIONED_DAEMON=1`` / ``GITEA_ALLOW_DIRECT_MCP_IMPORT=1`` are
insufficient for mutation gates).
- A process-local runtime record is established only by the resolved canonical
entrypoint path (not basename) **and** the actual native MCP transport
lifecycle (``bind_native_mcp_transport`` before ``mcp.run``). Merely
importing or launching the entrypoint offline does not grant mutation
authority.
- Public caller-controlled flags (including any former
``allow_test_bootstrap``) never establish trusted mutation provenance.
- Offline scripts that import internals fail closed on mutations.
- Pytest remains allowed for hermetic unit tests via ``is_pytest_runtime()``.
A separate test-only seam may establish a **test-mode** native record for
unit tests of transport gates; that record cannot authorize production
Gitea mutation endpoints.
Manual deletion of session-state files is never a recovery path.
