Fix Claude Desktop timeout issue in server mode

The server was hanging on initialize requests because:
1. It was calling browser.initialize() at startup which tried to connect to upstream servers
2. It was using blocking stdin.read(4096) instead of line-based reading

Fixed by:
- Removing premature initialization in server mode (let it happen lazily)
- Switching to readline() for proper line-based JSON-RPC handling
- Adding proper error responses for malformed JSON

This resolves the 60-second timeout error when Claude Desktop tries to connect.
