- PR #99536: fix(mcp): derive callback port from a configured loopback oauth.redirect_uri

A bug where the OAuth callback listener binds an ephemeral port instead of the port specified in the configured redirect_uri, causing authorization callbacks to be silently lost. Two related fixes address deriving the callback listener port from the configured loopback redirect_uri.
