🎉 Allow MCP to work with multiple files in parallel (#11927)
* 🎉 Add multi-file session routing to the MCP server

Session routing:
- Track each user's Penpot connections by session ID.
- Dispatch explicit sessions directly; otherwise discover the sole session.
- Return a retryable error when discovery fails or is incomplete.

Plugin and tools:
- Initialize connections with a fresh session ID and file metadata.
- Share the optional sessionId schema and place it last in tool inputs.

Validation:
- 84 tests, server type checking, and MCP formatting checks pass.
- Disable test logging to avoid the logging worker shutdown hang.

* 🎉 Support independent MCP connections

- Require explicit connection intent for each integrated workspace.
- Derive short session IDs from the Penpot app instance and file.
- Show and copy session IDs in the MCP menu and standalone plugin UI.
- Stop stale callbacks and reconnect attempts after disconnect.

Validate with frontend and plugin tests, type checking, live multi-tab
checks, and standalone UI checks with a simulated connection. Server
tests pass with --test-force-exit; the normal runner can hang on shutdown.

* 📚 Document multi-file MCP sessions

- Explain independent connections, session selection, and copying IDs.
- Describe session ID lifetimes for integrated and standalone plugins.
- Correct browser focus, connection, and recovery guidance.

Validate with the documentation site build and diff checks.
