fix(mcp-agent): stream native mcp-server stderr to logs

The previous implementation buffered stderr from the native mcp-server process and only logged the full buffer content when the process exited. This prevented real-time viewing of logs from the server.

This change modifies the native process startup logic (`startProcess_locked`) to use `cmd.StderrPipe()` instead of assigning `cmd.Stderr` to a buffer. A separate goroutine is now launched within the process monitoring goroutine. This new goroutine uses a `bufio.Scanner` to continuously read lines from the stderr pipe and logs them using the Navidrome logger (`log.Info`) with an `[MCP-SERVER]` prefix.

This ensures logs from the native mcp-server appear in Navidrome's logs immediately as they are written.

(Note: Also includes update to McpServerPath constant to point to the native binary.)

+# MCP Server (Proof of Concept)
+
+This directory contains the source code for the `mcp-server`, a simple server implementation used as a proof-of-concept (PoC) for the Navidrome Plugin/MCP agent system.
+
+This server is designed to be compiled into a WebAssembly (WASM) module (`.wasm`) using the `wasip1` target.
+
+## Compilation
+
+To compile the server into a WASM module (`mcp-server.wasm`), navigate to this directory in your terminal and run the following command:
+
+```bash
+CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=wasip1 GOARCH=wasm go build -o mcp-server.wasm .
+```
+
+**Note:** This command compiles the WASM module _without_ the `netgo` tag. Networking operations (like HTTP requests) are expected to be handled by host functions provided by the embedding application (Navidrome's `MCPAgent`) rather than directly within the WASM module itself.
+
+Place the resulting `mcp-server.wasm` file where the Navidrome `MCPAgent` expects it (currently configured via the `McpServerPath` constant in `core/agents/mcp/mcp_agent.go`).
