Add byline_list, byline_get, byline_create, byline_update, byline_delete, and byline_translations tools to the MCP server, and a `bylines` argument on content_create so credits can be attached at creation (previously only content_update accepted them). Reads gate on content:read; writes on content:write + EDITOR role, matching the bylines:manage permission floor. Write tools invalidate the byline cache on success, mirroring the REST routes.

What does this PR do?
Adds byline (author/contributor credit) management to the MCP server, and lets
content_createattach bylines at creation time.New tools (mirroring the taxonomy tool pattern and the REST
/api/admin/bylinesroutes):byline_list— paginated, filter by search / isGuest / userId / localebyline_get— fetch one by idbyline_create/byline_update/byline_deletebyline_translations— locale variants via the shared translation groupcontent_createnow acceptsbylines— previously onlycontent_updatedid, so creating a credited item over MCP took two calls. The handler already supported it; the tool just wasn't forwarding it (and theEmDashHandlerscreate type was missing the field).Authorization: reads gate on
content:read(consistent withcontent_list/taxonomy_list); writes oncontent:write+requireRole(EDITOR), which matches thebylines:managepermission floor and the established menus/taxonomies scope-grant pattern (there is no dedicated byline token scope). Write tools callinvalidateBylineCache()on success, mirroring the REST routes — without it, MCP byline edits would serve stale credits.Input validation reuses the REST zod schemas (
bylineCreateBody/bylineUpdateBody), preserving thehttpUrlguard onwebsiteUrl(rejectsjavascript:/data:URLs).Closes #
