v0.3.1 — Quick Setup docs link + local-dev TLS bypass + admin STEP layout parity + VS Code/Copilot path fix

Highlights

• Fix — Local dev sites now auto-inject NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED: \"0\" into the copied MCP client JSON (F075). Fires whenever the site looks local (.local / .test / .localhost host, wp_get_environment_type() returns local / development, or the host is localhost / 127.0.0.1 / ::1), regardless of HTTPS or plain HTTP. A static warning notice above the JSON on both surfaces (per-server MCP Clients tab + Quick Setup Step 11) explains what was added and why, linking Automattic's mcp-wordpress-remote troubleshooting doc. Fixes the "MCP client connects but the tool list stays empty" symptom on Local by Flywheel / MAMP / DDEV / wp-env style installs. Live sites are unaffected. Ops teams on custom suffixes (.docker, .internal, .dev) can extend the host list via the new acrossai_mcp_local_hostname_suffixes filter. Internal: all 16 clients' env-block generation is unified via a shared AbstractMCPClient::build_env() helper.
• Fix — VS Code + GitHub Copilot user-level MCP config path corrected (F078). Previously shipped ~/.vscode/mcp.json (Cursor's convention). Now ships the documented macOS user-level path ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/mcp.json for both clients. Instructions also mention the Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P → \"MCP: Open User Configuration\" menu entry. GitHub Copilot restart phrasing corrected to mention Agent mode + VS Code auto-start.
• UI — Per-server MCP Clients tab uses the wizard's numbered STEP 1..5 walkthrough (F077). Same content as before, reorganised under STEP 1 (Generate password) → STEP 2 (Open config file) → STEP 3 (Locate top-level key) → STEP 4 (Copy config + paste — includes F075 local-dev warning + JSON + Copy button) → STEP 5 (Restart the MCP client — client-specific action). Consistent visual scaffolding across both admin surfaces.
• UI — Client picker emojis removed on both admin surfaces (F076). Per-server MCP Clients tab pill sub-nav + Quick Setup Step 11 buttons now render each client's name only. get_icon() methods on all 16 client classes stay defined; only the two visible pickers stop rendering them.
• Docs — WordPress.org listing refresh. Tags: header replaced (ai assistant, chatgpt, claude, mcp, mcp-server); short description leads with the "Connect ChatGPT / Claude / Grok to WordPress in under a minute" hook; description opener + "How It Works" section link the Quick Setup wizard docs; "Which AI clients are supported?" FAQ enumerates all 16 built-in clients.
