Improves Inspector V1 connection error UX when an MCP server returns a JSON-RPC/MCP error during initialize (notably -32602
Unsupported protocol version). Instead of showing generic “proxy session token” guidance, the Sidebar now surfaces the actual MCP
error code and message, with a small expandable “Error details” section and a spec link for version negotiation.
This makes protocol version failures immediately visible and avoids misleading guidance when the error is not proxy-related.
