feat: per-mode MCP filtering enhancements v3.52.0

- SE-1: deny-by-default guard for unavailable custom mode config

- SE-2: groupOptionsCache mode-scoped keys to prevent cross-mode contamination

- SE-3: recordToolUsage moved after MCP filter check

- Loading spinner for MCP servers/tools list while data loads
