[Bug]: Editor autocorrect creates broken configs

[DanLipsitt]

What happened?

When editing configs through the Servers pane on MacOS, the text input widget has autocorrect turned on by default. This turns --flag into —flag (with an em-dash instead of two regular dashes), which breaks the command. It's possible to turn autocorrect off, but it resets the next time you edit. Autocorrect should be disabled throughout the app.

Expected behavior

Text should not be modified from what is input.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the Servers config pane (desktop app)
2. Click Add Server
3. Click Manual
4. Type -- into any field.

Thanks for the clear report and the screenshot, @DanLipsitt — the context menu in it made the root cause obvious.

This is macOS smart-dash substitution turning -- into an em-dash — inside the tray app's text fields, which corrupts CLI flags in the Command/Arguments/Env fields. You're right that it should be off everywhere, not per-field.

Fix is up in #548: it disables automatic text substitutions (dashes, quotes, text replacement, autocorrect, autocapitalization) app-wide at launch, so it applies to every input field and doesn't reset. It'll ship in the next release — I'll follow up here when it's out.

Fixed and released in v0.35.0.

The macOS tray app now disables automatic text substitutions (smart quotes, em-dashes, etc.) in its input fields, so config values typed there are no longer mangled into broken JSON. Fix shipped in PR #548 (fix(macos): disable automatic text substitutions in tray app).

Release: https://github.com/smart-mcp-proxy/mcpproxy-go/releases/tag/v0.35.0

Please update to v0.35.0 — reopen if you still hit it. Thanks for the report!
