catbusconductor e09e48567e fix(openviking): correct API endpoint paths and response parsing
- Browse: POST /api/v1/browse → GET /api/v1/fs/{ls,tree,stat}
- Read: POST /api/v1/read[/abstract] → GET /api/v1/content/{read,abstract,overview}
- System prompt: result.get('children') → len(result) (API returns list)
- Content: result.get('content') → result is a plain string
- Browse: result['entries'] → result is the list; is_dir → isDir (camelCase)
- Browse: add rel_path and abstract fields to entry output

Based on PR #4742 by catbusconductor. Auth header changes dropped
(already on main via #4825).
