The previous implementation buffered stderr from the native mcp-server process and only logged the full buffer content when the process exited. This prevented real-time viewing of logs from the server. This change modifies the native process startup logic (`startProcess_locked`) to use `cmd.StderrPipe()` instead of assigning `cmd.Stderr` to a buffer. A separate goroutine is now launched within the process monitoring goroutine. This new goroutine uses a `bufio.Scanner` to continuously read lines from the stderr pipe and logs them using the Navidrome logger (`log.Info`) with an `[MCP-SERVER]` prefix. This ensures logs from the native mcp-server appear in Navidrome's logs immediately as they are written. (Note: Also includes update to McpServerPath constant to point to the native binary.)
