fix: address all Obsidian plugin submission code review issues

This commit resolves all required and optional issues from the plugin
submission review to comply with Obsidian plugin guidelines.

Required Changes:
- Type Safety: Added eslint-disable comments with justifications for
  necessary any types in JSON-RPC tool argument handling
- Command IDs: Removed redundant "mcp-server" prefix from command
  identifiers (BREAKING CHANGE):
  - start-mcp-server → start-server
  - stop-mcp-server → stop-server
  - restart-mcp-server → restart-server
- Promise Handling: Added void operator for intentional fire-and-forget
  promise in notification queue processing
- ESLint Directives: Added descriptive explanations to all
  eslint-disable comments
- Switch Statement Scope: Wrapped case blocks in braces to fix lexical
  declaration warnings in glob pattern matcher
- Regular Expression: Added eslint-disable comment for control character
  validation in Windows path checking
- Type Definitions: Changed empty object type {} to object in MCP
  capabilities interface
- Import Statements: Added comprehensive justifications for require()
  usage in Electron/Node.js modules (synchronous access required)

Optional Improvements:
- Code Cleanup: Removed unused imports (MCPPluginSettings, TFile,
  VaultInfo)

Documentation:
- Enhanced inline code documentation for ESLint suppressions and
  require() statements
- Added detailed rationale for synchronous module loading requirements
  in Obsidian plugin context
- Updated CHANGELOG.md for version 1.1.2

All changes verified:
- Build: Successful with no TypeScript errors
- Tests: All 760 tests passing
- ESLint: All review-required issues resolved

Version bumped to 1.1.2 in package.json and manifest.json

+## [1.1.2] - 2025-11-15
+
+### Fixed
+- **Code Review Issues**: Addressed all issues from Obsidian plugin submission review
+  - **Type Safety**: Added eslint-disable comments with justifications for all necessary `any` types in JSON-RPC tool argument handling
+  - **Command IDs**: Removed redundant plugin name prefix from command identifiers (BREAKING CHANGE):
+    - `start-mcp-server` → `start-server`
+    - `stop-mcp-server` → `stop-server`
+    - `restart-mcp-server` → `restart-server`
+  - **Promise Handling**: Added `void` operator for intentional fire-and-forget promise in notification queue processing
+  - **ESLint Directives**: Added descriptive explanations to all eslint-disable comments
+  - **Switch Statement Scope**: Wrapped case blocks in braces to fix lexical declaration warnings in glob pattern matcher
+  - **Regular Expression**: Added eslint-disable comment for control character validation in Windows path checking
+  - **Type Definitions**: Changed empty object type `{}` to `object` in MCP capabilities interface
+  - **Import Statements**: Added comprehensive justifications for `require()` usage in Electron/Node.js modules (synchronous access required)
+  - **Code Cleanup**: Removed unused imports (`MCPPluginSettings`, `TFile`, `VaultInfo`)
+
+### Changed
+- Command IDs simplified to remove redundant plugin identifier (may affect users with custom hotkeys)
+
+### Documentation
+- Enhanced inline code documentation for ESLint suppressions and require() statements
+- Added detailed rationale for synchronous module loading requirements in Obsidian plugin context
