Ship goose and linux-mcp-server

Ok now that bluefin-ai is freed up let's do a hello world.

ujust bluefin-ai should do the following after the use confirm button on the gum configuration screen:

• Install goose cli from homebrew
• Install linux-mcp-server
• Copy over a precanned goose config into the right spot the user can follow the linux-mcp-server docs and be able to use the tool.

Right now the recommendation from their team is to install it via pip/uv (the container isn't ready). The container is probably our long term solution but that's a tomorrow problem. I have asked if they're interested in brew since the client runs on macs too, I'll follow up with them separately on that.

The trick will be figuring out how to do the precanned config file: https://rhel-lightspeed.github.io/linux-mcp-server/clients/#yaml-configuration-cli

Also I think pip is on every image so we could roll with that though if there's a clean way to take advantage of uv I'd be all for that. Thoughts?

A tricky bit to getting the goose config squared away - figured out the hard way that goose config.yaml doesn't expand shell variables.... on linux when you pip install linux-mcp-server, it goes to ~/.local/bin/linux-mcp-server.... we don't know the user's name, and because goose's config.yaml won't expand shell variables we can't do anything like ~/ or ${HOME} or /home/${USER} to make it JustWork. So it requires the user to hardcode their username in the yaml before it works and that's a pretty annoying user experience to get things going.

I'm suspecting maybe the best way to solve this is to work with upstream and see what they think about supporting shell variables like this. They're working on a new text UI so I'm wondering if config improvements might come with that work (see block/goose#5831 )

Oh yeah this is going to be great:

Hey, @castrojo! I just opened the package review in Fedora for goose: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2428704

The linux-mcp-server is on the list as well. It will take a few more days until we get it to package review, but it will be there!

Let me know if there is anything I can help with this 😄
