Verify Airtable’s refresh-grant support before release.

The captured metadata does not advertise refresh_token, but ensureDcrClient requests it for every DCR client. Airtable can therefore reject registration even though the repository records a measured refresh-token response from Airtable.

Verify the registration request and a subsequent refresh against Airtable. If registration rejects refresh_token, adjust the registration and expired-token recovery flow.

Review comment at @backend/integrations/hostedMcp/airtable.ts at line 64:
Verify Airtable’s DCR registration and subsequent refresh behavior for the
`refresh_token` grant. Update the `client: 'dcr'` configuration and, if
registration rejects the grant, adjust `ensureDcrClient` and the expired-token
recovery flow to match Airtable’s verified behavior.
