feat: add MCP server mode, /lint skill, E2E smoke tests

- Add native MCP server mode (--mode mcp): exposes GSD's tools via
  Model Context Protocol over stdin/stdout for Claude Desktop, VS Code,
  and other MCP-compatible clients. Uses @modelcontextprotocol/sdk.
- Add /lint skill: auto-detects ESLint, Biome, Prettier, rustfmt,
  gofmt, Black, Ruff and runs with structured output
- Add 6 E2E smoke tests: --version, --help, config --help, update
  --help, --list-models, and --mode text --print startup
- Fix diff-context.ts stdio type for CI compatibility
- Fix token-counter.ts tiktoken import for extensions typecheck
- Update help text and CLI to include --mode mcp

+description: Lint and format code. Auto-detects ESLint, Biome, Prettier, or language-native formatters and runs them with auto-fix. Reports remaining issues with actionable suggestions.
+---
+
+<objective>
+Lint and format code in the current project. Auto-detect the project's linter and formatter toolchain, run them against the target files, and report results grouped by severity with actionable fix suggestions.
+</objective>
+
+<arguments>
+This skill accepts optional arguments after `/lint`:
+
+- **No arguments**: Lint only files changed in the current working tree (`git diff --name-only` and `git diff --cached --name-only`).
+- **A file or directory path**: Lint only that specific path (e.g., `/lint src/utils`).
+- **`--fix`**: Automatically apply safe fixes. Can be combined with a path (e.g., `/lint src/ --fix`).
+- **`--fix` without a path**: Auto-fix changed files only.
+
+Parse the arguments before proceeding. If `--fix` is present, set fix mode. If a non-flag argument is present, treat it as the target path.
+</arguments>
+
+<detection>
+Auto-detect the project's linter and formatter by checking configuration files in the project root. Check in this order and use the **first match found** for each category (linter vs. formatter). A project may have both a linter and a formatter.
+
+**JavaScript/TypeScript Linters:**
+
+1. **Biome** — Look for `biome.json` or `biome.jsonc` in the project root.
+   - Lint command: `npx @biomejs/biome check .` (or `--apply` with `--fix`)
+   - Format command: `npx @biomejs/biome format .` (or `--write` with `--fix`)
+   - Biome handles both linting and formatting. No need for a separate formatter if Biome is detected.
+
+2. **ESLint** — Look for `.eslintrc`, `.eslintrc.*` (js, cjs, json, yml, yaml), `eslint.config.*` (js, mjs, cjs, ts, mts, cts), or an `"eslintConfig"` key in `package.json`.
+   - Lint command: `npx eslint .` (or `--fix` with `--fix`)
+   - Check `package.json` for the installed version. ESLint 9+ uses flat config (`eslint.config.*`).
+
+**JavaScript/TypeScript Formatters (only if Biome was NOT detected):**
+
+3. **Prettier** — Look for `.prettierrc`, `.prettierrc.*`, `prettier.config.*`, or a `"prettier"` key in `package.json`.
+   - Format check: `npx prettier --check .`
+   - Format fix: `npx prettier --write .`
+
+**Rust:**
+
+4. **rustfmt** — Look for `rustfmt.toml` or `.rustfmt.toml`, or `Cargo.toml` in the project root.
+   - Format check: `cargo fmt -- --check`
+   - Format fix: `cargo fmt`
+   - Lint: `cargo clippy` (if available)
+
+**Go:**
+
+5. **Go tools** — Look for `go.mod` in the project root.
+   - Format check: `gofmt -l .`
+   - Format fix: `gofmt -w .`
+   - Lint: `golangci-lint run` (if installed), otherwise `go vet ./...`
+
+**Python:**
+
+6. **Ruff** — Look for `ruff.toml` or a `[tool.ruff]` section in `pyproject.toml`.
+   - Lint command: `ruff check .` (or `--fix` with `--fix`)
+   - Format command: `ruff format .` (or `--check` without `--fix`)
+
+7. **Black** — Look for a `[tool.black]` section in `pyproject.toml`, or `black` in requirements files.
+   - Format check: `black --check .`
+   - Format fix: `black .`
+
+If no linter or formatter is detected, inform the user and suggest common options for their project type based on the files present.
+</detection>
+
+<execution>
+
+**Step 1: Determine target files**
+
+- If a path argument was provided, use that path.
+- If no path argument, get changed files:
+  ```bash
+  git diff --name-only
+  git diff --cached --name-only
+  ```
+  Filter to files that still exist on disk. If no files are changed, inform the user and offer to lint the entire project instead.
+
+**Step 2: Run the detected tools**
+
+Run the linter and/or formatter against the target files or directory.
+
+- **Without `--fix`**: Run in check/report mode only. Do NOT modify any files.
+- **With `--fix`**: Run with auto-fix flags enabled.
+
+When running formatters without `--fix`, show a preview of what would change:
+- For Prettier: use `--check` and list files that would change.
+- For Biome: use `check` without `--apply`.
+- For Black: use `--check --diff` to show the diff preview.
+- For Ruff: use `--diff` for format and standard output for lint.
+- For rustfmt/gofmt: use `--check` or `-l` to list files, then show a diff for up to 5 files using `diff <(command) file`.
+
+**Step 3: Parse and organize output**
+
+Parse the tool output and organize issues:
+
+```markdown
+## Lint Results
+
+### Errors (X issues)
+| File | Line | Rule | Message |
+|------|------|------|---------|
+| ... | ... | ... | ... |
+
+### Warnings (X issues)
+| File | Line | Rule | Message |
+|------|------|------|---------|
+| ... | ... | ... | ... |
+
+### Formatting
+- X files would be reformatted
+- [list files]
+
+### Summary
+- Total issues: X errors, Y warnings, Z formatting
+- Auto-fixable: N issues (run `/lint --fix` to apply)
+```
+
+**Step 4: Suggest fixes for common issues**
+
+For the most frequent issues, provide brief actionable guidance:
+
+- If the same rule appears 5+ times, suggest a bulk fix or config change.
+- For unused imports/variables, list them for quick removal.
+- For formatting-only issues, note that `--fix` will resolve them safely.
+- For issues that cannot be auto-fixed, provide a one-line explanation of how to resolve each unique rule violation.
+
+</execution>
+
+<critical_rules>
+
+1. **Never modify files without `--fix`**: Default mode is report-only. Respect the user's working tree.
+2. **Use the project's own config**: Do not invent lint rules. Use whatever config files exist in the project.
+3. **Use the project's installed version**: Always prefer `npx`, `cargo`, or the project-local binary. Do not use globally installed tools unless no local version exists.
+4. **Handle missing tools gracefully**: If a config file exists but the tool is not installed, inform the user and provide the install command (e.g., `npm install --save-dev eslint`).
+5. **Respect `.gitignore` and ignore patterns**: Do not lint `node_modules`, `dist`, `build`, `target`, `.git`, or other commonly ignored directories. Most tools handle this automatically; verify they do.
+6. **Limit output**: If there are more than 50 issues, show the first 30 grouped by severity, then summarize the rest with counts per file. Do not flood the user with hundreds of lines.
+7. **Exit cleanly**: After presenting results, do not take further action. Let the user decide next steps.
