Igor Lins e Silva afd0428823 feat(serve): turnkey secure remote MCP server (#1877) (#1900)
* feat(serve): turnkey secure remote MCP server (#1877)

Add `mempalace serve`: a secure-by-default wrapper over the HTTP MCP
transport so a team can stand up a shared central palace with one
command.

Server capabilities (mempalace/mcp_server.py):
- Native TLS via --tls-cert/--tls-key (env MEMPALACE_MCP_TLS_CERT/_KEY):
  wraps the socket in a TLS 1.2+ context, validated before bind. Token
  is still required on a non-loopback bind (TLS != auth).
- Read-only mode via --read-only (env MEMPALACE_MCP_READ_ONLY): the 24
  mutating tools are hidden from tools/list and refused at dispatch
  (-32003), enforced before arg handling — not merely hidden.

Turnkey command (mempalace/cli.py):
- Auto-generates a strong bearer token for non-loopback binds, stored
  0600 under ~/.mempalace/server/ and printed once; reused across
  restarts. Token rides in the child env, never argv, so it can't leak
  via ps.
- Prints a ready-to-paste client config (scheme reflects TLS), then
  foreground-execs the real server so Docker/systemd own the lifecycle.

Deployment (deploy/):
- docker-compose.server.yml wires the server + Qdrant with a /healthz
  healthcheck and persistent volumes.
- server.env.example documents the env surface.
- mempalace-server.service is a hardened systemd unit template.

Tests: TLS handshake (openssl-gated), read-only enforcement, token
autogen/0600/reuse, token-not-in-argv, secure-by-default gates.

Docs: remote-server guide now leads with `mempalace serve` plus Compose
and systemd subsections.

* test(serve): fix Windows — don't patch os.name; gate 0600 asserts to POSIX

Patching os.name to 'posix' broke Path.home() on Windows (pathlib mixed
POSIX home resolution with Windows drive parsing). Capture both exec
branches (os.execve + subprocess.run) instead, and guard the POSIX
permission-bit assertions behind os.name == 'posix' (Windows files
report 0o666).

# MemPalace remote MCP server — systemd unit template.
#
# Install:
# sudo useradd --system --home /var/lib/mempalace --shell /usr/sbin/nologin mempalace
# sudo install -d -o mempalace -g mempalace -m 750 /var/lib/mempalace /etc/mempalace
# sudo cp deploy/server.env.example /etc/mempalace/server.env # then edit + chmod 600
# sudo install -m 600 -o mempalace -g mempalace /etc/mempalace/server.env /etc/mempalace/server.env
# # install mempalace into a venv on PATH, or adjust ExecStart to its absolute path
# sudo cp deploy/mempalace-server.service /etc/systemd/system/
# sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl enable --now mempalace-server
#
# This binds 0.0.0.0:8765 and requires MEMPALACE_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN (set in the
# EnvironmentFile). Front it with a TLS-terminating reverse proxy, or set
# MEMPALACE_MCP_TLS_CERT / _KEY in the EnvironmentFile for native TLS.
