07 Remediation
Upgrade Bifrost HTTP transport to 2.1.0 or later. PR #6757 returns 403 for unauthenticated stdio MCP client registration when dashboard authentication is disabled or unconfigured. Authenticated admins can still add stdio clients. The 1.6.x line through 1.6.11 and transports/v2.0.0 do not include this change.
