When READ_ONLY=true, the server skips registration of write_note, edit_note, delete_note, and move_note. Only read tools are exposed via MCP, protecting vaults shared with multiple AI clients. Closes es617#1

Summary
Implements the feature requested in #1.
READ_ONLY=trueenvironment variable supportwrite_note,edit_note,delete_note,move_noteread_note,list_notes,list_folders,list_tags,get_note_metadataMotivation
When exposing the MCP server to multiple AI clients, there is no server-level way to restrict write access. This flag lets operators expose a vault safely without relying on per-client filtering.
Usage
Set this environment variable before starting the server. No other configuration needed.
