feat(ui): Contribute / Request affordances across the app
Users who hit a dead-end ("searched for a server that isn't in the registry", "found a bug", "wanted to suggest a feature") had no clear place to send that signal — they'd just close the app. This commit adds three coordinated entry points, all wired to the mcpmux and mcp-servers GitHub repos via the Tauri opener plugin. New shared module `lib/contribute.ts` * Centralises every external URL (main repo, servers repo, marketing site, bug-report, feature-request, request-server templates). * `CONTRIBUTE.requestServer(searchTerm?)` URL-encodes the search term into the GitHub issue title so a user coming from the empty-search state lands on a pre-populated form. * `openExternal(url)` wraps `openUrl` with the same opener-plugin fallback OAuthConsentModal uses. New shared components `components/Contribute.tsx` * `<RequestServerCTA searchTerm?>` — inline gradient card used on the empty-search state. Two-button footer: Request (gh issue) + Contribute (mcp-servers CONTRIBUTING.md). * `<ContributeMenu>` — dropdown with Request new server / Report bug / Suggest feature / Open on GitHub. Reusable anywhere; lives in the Registry header today. Placements: * Registry page — ContributeMenu in the header (always visible), and RequestServerCTA rendered in the empty-results state with the active searchQuery threaded into the issue title. * Settings — new "Contribute & feedback" card with a 2-column grid of Request-server / Report-bug / Suggest-feature / Open-on-GitHub tiles (ContributeRow helper local to this file). All links open in the user's default browser via the opener plugin; no in-webview navigation. `pnpm typecheck` + lint clean (warnings unchanged at 31).
