SUGGESTION: New #878 marker block is nested inside the #701 and "per-field" blocks, leaving three stacked // altimate_change end markers

This diff removed the // altimate_change end that closed the "per-field env-var resolution" block (after resolveServerEnvVars), so the #701 block and this new #878 block are now nested inside it and closed by the three consecutive // altimate_change end lines below. Marker Guard checks presence/balance, not scoping, so this passes CI, but the "per-field" block now over-scopes to include _unresolvedEnv and the drift helpers. Restore the closing // altimate_change end after resolveServerEnvVars and keep these blocks as siblings.

configDrift() is exported and read by reportConfigDiagnostics() in mcp list / mcp status, but prompt.ts's /mcps handler never calls it. A user debugging a silently-failing server via /mcps mid-session sees neither drift warnings here nor blankedEnvVars warnings (the latter flagged in PR #1159). Both diagnostic surfaces are supposed to solve the same 'why won't this server connect' problem, but the session command /mcps consistently receives only unresolvedEnvVars while the CLI surfaces the full picture. The pattern repeats with each new diagnostic type added, so the gap between CLI and session view will keep widening without an explicit design decision to sync them.

SUGGESTION: _drift and _discoveredSource are process-wide singletons cleared at the top of the async discoverExternalMcp and repopulated across its await boundary — racy under concurrent discovery

resetConfigDrift() and _discoveredSource.clear() run before the first await, but _discoveredSource.set() (in addServersFromFile) runs only after several await readJsonSafe(...) calls, and _drift is repopulated by setConfigDrift in config.ts after this function returns. The comment above already contemplates "a daemon that discovers for a second project"; if two projects' config loads run discovery concurrently (two sessions in opencode serve), the clears/writes interleave, so one project's discoveredSource(name) can return the other project's file and resetConfigDrift() can wipe the other run's just-written drift. The configured value still wins, so this is only wrong diagnostic attribution — consider keying these maps by projectDir or serializing discovery if concurrent loads are possible.

SUGGESTION: New #878/#701 marker blocks are nested inside the #972 "shared text formatter" block, and the /** @internal Exported for tests. */ docstring is left dangling above formatConfigDriftForDisplay

The #972 block previously contained only formatMcpStatusForDisplay, whose /** @internal Exported for tests. */ docstring sat directly above it. This diff inserts the #878 and #701 blocks between the #972 opening marker (line 2900) and that function, so both are nested inside it — the same over-scoping Marker Guard checks presence but not correctness for (cf. the #878 block in discover.ts). The docstring now sits above formatConfigDriftForDisplay, which already has its own /** Config-drift lines ... */, leaving formatMcpStatusForDisplay undocumented. Close the #972 block after its docstring and place the new blocks as siblings.
