mcp: fingerprint short-lived console tokens for copy-corruption checks

node_console_info now returns token_sha256_prefix (sha256, first 8 hex
chars) and token_ttl_seconds alongside the console WebSocket URL, and
controller WebSocket auth rejections include the sha256 prefix of the
token as received. Comparing the two immediately distinguishes a token
corrupted in transfer from server-side rejection causes (expired,
revoked, bad signature).
