### [ISSUE] StataNow BE on macOS: "Failed to spawn process: No such file or directory"

## AI Model
- [x] Claude

## Issue Description
stata-mcp fails to connect when using StataNow BE on macOS. The MCP server starts successfully but crashes with "Failed to spawn process: No such file or directory" when attempting to execute Stata commands. In Claude Desktop, the server shows "failed" status with "Server disconnected."

## Context
- Stata is accessible from the command line (`which stata` returns `/usr/local/bin/stata`)
- Running `uvx stata-mcp --usable` shows most checks pass, but

### [ISSUE] Cursor error: No server info found

## 问题描述
如果cursor的mcp.json为
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stata-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["stata-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "stata_cli": "/Applications/StataNow/StataMP.app/Contents/MacOS/stata-mp"
      }
    }
  }
}
```
启动mcp时报错 
```log
[info] Handling ListOfferings action, server stored: false
[error] No server info found
```

## 背景信息
- 运行`uvx stata-mcp --usable`唯一失败项是`Stata CLI (Path: Not found): ❌ FAILED`
- 但已在env中配置stata路径，且确信路径正确、有许可证、能用
- 没有其他开启的插件或mcp

### [BUG] Security: Command Injection via Untrusted Stata do-file Execution (stata_do tool)

## AI Model
- [x] Claude

## Bug Description
A command injection vulnerability exists in the **_stata_do_** tool.
The server executes user-provided or LLM-generated Stata do-files directly using: subprocess.Popen(..., shell=True)
Stata supports shell-escape directives such as:
_!whoami_
_!ls_
_shell curl ..._
These lines are interpreted as real OS commands on macOS & Linux Stata.
Since the server does not sanitize or validate do-file contents, an attacker can embed arbitrary OS command escapes i
