Consolidate 110 individual MCP tools down to 45 using a method dispatch pattern, aligning tool names with the GitHub MCP server conventions.
**Motivation:** LLMs work better with fewer, well-organized tools. The method dispatch pattern (used by GitHub's MCP server) groups related operations under read/write tools with a `method` parameter.
**Changes:**
- Group related tools into `_read`/`_write` pairs with method dispatch (e.g. `issue_read`, `issue_write`, `pull_request_read`, `pull_request_write`)
- Rename tools to match GitHub MCP naming (`get_file_contents`, `create_or_update_file`, `list_issues`, `list_pull_requests`, etc.)
- Rename `pageSize` to `perPage` for GitHub MCP compat
- Move issue label ops (`add_labels`, `remove_label`, etc.) into `issue_write`
- Merge `create_file`/`update_file` into `create_or_update_file` with optional `sha`
- Make `delete_file` require `sha`
- Add `get_labels` method to `issue_read`
- Add shared helpers: `GetInt64Slice`, `GetStringSlice`, `GetPagination` in params package
- Unexport all dispatch handler functions
- Fix: pass assignees/milestone in `CreateIssue`, bounds check in `GetFileContent`

Reduce token usage by slimming tool responses. Instead of returning full Gitea SDK objects (with nested user/repo objects, avatars, permissions, etc.), each operation now has a colocated `slim.go` that extracts only the fields an LLM needs. List endpoints return even fewer fields than single-item endpoints.
Other changes:
- Add `params` helpers to DRY parameter extraction across 40+ handlers
- Remove `{"Result": ...}` wrapper for flatter responses
- Reduce default pageSize from 100 to 30

## Summary
- MCP clients may send numbers as strings. This adds `ToInt64` and `GetOptionalInt` helpers to `pkg/params` and replaces all raw `.(float64)` type assertions across operation handlers to accept both `float64` and string inputs.
## Test plan
- [x] Verify `go test ./...` passes
- [x] Test with an MCP client that sends numeric parameters as strings

## Summary
- Add `.golangci.yml` with linter configuration matching the main gitea repo
- Add `lint`, `lint-fix`, `lint-go`, `lint-go-fix`, and `security-check` Makefile targets
- Add `tidy` Makefile target (extracts min Go version from `go.mod` for `-compat` flag)
- Bump minimum Go version to 1.26
- Update golangci-lint to v2.10.1
- Replace `golang/govulncheck-action` with `make security-check` in CI
- Add `make lint` step to CI
- Fix all lint issues across the codebase (formatting, `errors.New` vs `fmt.Errorf`, `any` vs `interface{}`, unused returns, stuttering names, Go 1.26 `new(expr)`, etc.)
- Remove unused `pkg/ptr` package (inlined by Go 1.26 `new(expr)`)
- Remove dead linter exclusions (staticcheck, gocritic, testifylint, dupl)
## Test plan
- [x] `make lint` passes
- [x] `go test ./...` passes
- [x] `make build` succeeds

this PR introduces support for per-request authentication tokens in HTTP and SSE modes. The server now inspects incoming requests for an `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header.
Previously, the server operated with a single, globally configured Gitea token. This change allows different clients to use their own tokens when communicating with the MCP server, enhancing security and flexibility.
To support this, the Gitea API client initialization has been refactored:
- The global singleton Gitea client has been removed.
- A new `ClientFromContext` function creates a Gitea client on-demand, using a token from the request context if available, and falling back to the globally configured token otherwise.
- All tool functions now retrieve the client from the context for each call.
The README has also been updated to reflect the new configuration option.
Update: #59
