## Title

    [claude-code] [BUG] HTTP MCP: OAuth succeeds, then initialize hangs until CONNECT_TIMEOUT (raising MCP_TIMEOUT doesn't help)

## Body

    ## Observed symptom
    [BUG] HTTP MCP: OAuth succeeds, then initialize hangs until CONNECT_TIMEOUT (raising MCP_TIMEOUT doesn't help)
    
    - [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet - [x] This is a single bug report - [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code
    
    An HTTP (streamable) MCP server completes the OAuth flow successfully — tokens are saved and the log reports `Auth result: AUTHORIZED` — but the MCP `initialize` handshake that follows never gets a response. Every connection attempt hangs until the connect timeout fires (`CONNECT_TIMEOUT`), including all 3 automatic retries, so the server is permanently shown as failed/offline.
    
    ## Literal error text
    ```
    to the same URL returns HTTP 401 in ~0.3s. So this is not DNS, TLS, proxy or general reachability — only the authenticated connection started by Claude Code hangs.
