Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fix: cursor-plugin @latest tag, http retry, and login_url
 scheme validation

- Add Initialize Cursor latest ref and Update Cursor latest ref steps to
  the release workflow, matching the existing Codex and Claude plugin steps.
  The cursor-plugin @latest tag was never initialized or updated on publish.

- Add exponential backoff retry in requestJson for transient HTTP errors
  (429, 500, 502, 503, 504) and network-level failures. Retries up to 2
  times with 500ms / 1000ms delays before re-throwing.

- Validate that the broker server's login_url uses https: before passing it
  to openBrowser / spawn. Loopback addresses (localhost, 127.0.0.1, ::1)
  are exempt to preserve local development and test compatibility.

+Add exponential backoff retry for transient HTTP errors (429, 5xx) and network failures in `requestJson`. Validate that `login_url` returned by the broker server uses the `https:` scheme before opening it in a browser (loopback addresses are exempt to support local development).

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] fix(security): address QA P1/P2 findings before merge
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

P1: replace Windows cmd /c start with shell-free rundll32 opener to prevent
command injection via OAuth URL special characters (&)

P1: add cache migration path (legacyServerHash + migrateTokenCache) so the
md5→sha256 serverHash upgrade does not strand existing tokens on disk; wire
migrateTokenCache into loginWithBroker and cover with 3 tests

P1: restore isSafeBrokerLoginUrl and sanitizeBrokerLoginUrl to
@call-e/core/broker-client; add broker-client.d.ts type declarations; wire
types into package.json exports so the runtime and published type surface agree

P2: share isSafeBrokerLoginUrl predicate between openBrowser and broker
validator so http: loopback URLs are accepted end-to-end

P2: remove cache_path / pending_cache_path from all public JSON outputs
(publicPendingLoginPayload, publicLoginPayload, statusPayload, auth logout);
omit --cache-root from next_command / login_command when using the default
location to prevent home directory path leaks in agent-visible JSON
