📝 Summary

Implements the IAM Pre-Tool Plugin for MCP server authentication (Issue #1437 - Phase 1).

This plugin provides the foundation for token acquisition and credential injection into HTTP requests to MCP servers. Key features include:

  • Token caching with configurable TTL and 60s expiration buffer
  • Bearer token injection via http_pre_request hook
  • Plugin framework integration with comprehensive configuration
  • Ready for OAuth2 client credentials flow integration (pending PR feat(auth): add reusable OAuth2 base helper library #2858)

Also includes fixes for pre-existing test failures caused by settings changes in previous PRs.
