fix(server): make OAuth discovery and MCP auth metadata host-aware (#19755)

## Summary

OAuth discovery metadata (RFC 9728 protected-resource, RFC 8414
authorization-server) and the MCP `WWW-Authenticate` header were
hardcoded to `SERVER_URL`. This breaks MCP clients that paste any URL
other than `api.twenty.com/mcp` — the metadata declares `resource:
https://api.twenty.com/mcp`, which doesn't match the URL the client
connected to, so the client rejects it and the OAuth flow never starts.

Reproduced with Claude's MCP integration: pasting
`<workspace>.twenty.com/mcp`, `app.twenty.com/mcp`, or a custom domain
returned *"Couldn't reach the MCP server"* because discovery returned a
resource URL for a different host.

Related memory: MCP clients POST to the URL the user entered, not the
discovered resource URL — so every paste-able hostname has to advertise
`resource` for that same hostname.

## What the server now does

`WorkspaceDomainsService.getValidatedRequestBaseUrl(req)` resolves the
canonical base URL for the host the request came in on, validated
against the set of hosts we actually serve:

- `SERVER_URL` (e.g. `api.twenty.com`) — API host
- default base URL (e.g. `app.twenty.com`) — the `DEFAULT_SUBDOMAIN`
base
- `FRONTEND_URL` bare host
- any `<workspace>.twenty.com` subdomain (DB lookup)
- any workspace `customDomain` where `isCustomDomainEnabled = true`
- any registered `publicDomain`

An unrecognized / spoofed Host falls back to
`DomainServerConfigService.getBaseUrl()`. **We never reflect arbitrary
Host values into the response.**

Callers updated:

- `OAuthDiscoveryController.getProtectedResourceMetadata` — echoes the
validated host into `resource` and `authorization_servers`.
- `OAuthDiscoveryController.getAuthorizationServerMetadata` — uses the
validated host for `issuer` and `*_endpoint`, **except**
`authorization_endpoint`: when the request came in via `SERVER_URL`
(API-only, no `/authorize` route), we keep that one pointed at the
default frontend base URL.
- `McpAuthGuard` — sets `WWW-Authenticate: Bearer
resource_metadata=\"<validatedBase>/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource\"`
on 401s, so the MCP client's follow-up discovery fetch lands on the same
host it started on.

## Security

- Workspace identity is already bound to the JWT via per-workspace
signing secrets (`jwtWrapperService.generateAppSecret(tokenType,
workspaceId)`). Host-aware discovery does not weaken that.
- Custom domains are only accepted once `isCustomDomainEnabled = true`
(i.e. after DNS verification), so an attacker can't register a
custom-domain mapping on a workspace and have discovery reflect it
before it's been proven.
- Unknown / spoofed Hosts fall through to the default base URL.

## Drive-by

Fixed a duplicate `DomainServerConfigModule` import in
`application-oauth.module.ts` while adding `WorkspaceDomainsModule`.

## Companion infra change required for custom domains

Customer custom domains (`crm.acme.com/mcp`) also require an
ingress-level fix to exclude `/mcp`, `/oauth`, and `/.well-known` from
the `/s\$uri` rewrite applied when `X-Twenty-Public-Domain: true`.
Shipping that in a twenty-infra PR (will cross-link here).

## Test plan

- [x] 14 new tests in
`WorkspaceDomainsService.getValidatedRequestBaseUrl` covering: missing
Host, SERVER_URL, base URL, FRONTEND_URL, workspace subdomain, unknown
subdomain fallback, enabled custom domain, disabled custom domain,
public domain, completely unrecognized host, lowercase coercion,
malformed Host, single-workspace mode fallback, DB throwing → fallback
- [x] New `oauth-discovery.controller.spec.ts` covering both endpoints
across api / app / workspace-subdomain / custom-domain hosts, plus
`cli_client_id` propagation
- [x] Rewrote `mcp-auth.guard.spec.ts` to cover `WWW-Authenticate` for
all four host types (api, workspace subdomain, custom domain, spoofed
fallback)
- [x] `yarn jest
--testPathPatterns=\"workspace-domains.service|oauth-discovery.controller|mcp-auth.guard\"`
→ 41/41 passing
- [x] `tsc --noEmit` clean on all modified files
- [ ] Manual verification against staging: connect Claude to
`api.twenty.com/mcp`, `app.twenty.com/mcp`,
`<workspace>.twenty.com/mcp`, and a custom domain and confirm OAuth flow
completes on each
