Show inline parameter signatures in tools list#82

Display required parameters and collapsed optional count in the compact tools-list view, so users can see at a glance what each tool expects without needing --full. https://claude.ai/code/session_01CzLbKsRtTusJ1ypzKwKkaH
Types are now abbreviated (str, num, obj, bool, [str]) for conciseness. At most 3 parameters are shown inline, with required params first, then optional in declaration order. Remaining params are indicated with "…". https://claude.ai/code/session_01CzLbKsRtTusJ1ypzKwKkaH
Backticks now enclose the tool name and params together, e.g. `ping()` instead of `ping`(). Also exports shortType and adds unit tests for the abbreviated type formatting. https://claude.ai/code/session_01CzLbKsRtTusJ1ypzKwKkaH
Distinguishes integer parameters from number (float) parameters in the compact tool listing. https://claude.ai/code/session_01CzLbKsRtTusJ1ypzKwKkaH
- Fix TS2345 by defaulting undefined properties to {}
- Export formatToolParamsInline and add unit tests for empty,
ordering, and truncation behavior
- Apply Prettier formatting

Remove the separate "Task support:" section from tools-get detail view and instead show the task mode inline as [task:optional], [task:required], or [task:forbidden] in both tools-list and tools-get annotations. https://claude.ai/code/session_01CzLbKsRtTusJ1ypzKwKkaH
The MCP spec uses "task" terminology (taskSupport, taskId, etc.), so the CLI flag should match. --detach now implies --task instead of --async. Updated all source, tests, and changelog references. https://claude.ai/code/session_01CzLbKsRtTusJ1ypzKwKkaH
