- #80771: \[Bug\]: \`/reload-mcp\` reports still-configured servers as "➖ Removed" — the diff never reads config

A bug caused /reload-mcp to diff against live socket connections rather than the config file, incorrectly reporting still-configured servers as removed. These members address the fix for that diffing logic.
