The /mcp viewer footer now wraps onto additional rows in narrow terminals instead of clipping its hints.


The footer previously forced a single-row height even when the help text needed more space. Content-driven height preserves every action hint, with a focused Textual regression test covering the narrow layout.

`height: auto` alone let the viewer footer wrap, but `.mcp-list` has
`min-height: 5` and won the fight for vertical space, so the wrapped
footer was laid out past the modal's bottom edge and never painted.
On an 80-column terminal every size below 24 rows lost the footer
entirely — including `Esc close`, the way out of the modal.

`dock: bottom` reserves the footer's rows before the list takes the
remainder, which keeps every hint on screen at all sizes measured
(80x14 through 120x24). Apply the same fix to the error modal, where
wrapping pushed its footer out at narrow widths.

Tests now assert the footer's region sits inside the modal rather than
reading `Static.__content`, which returns the full string whether or
not any of it reaches the screen.
