Add a warning admonition spelling out the three security concerns raised in review: unauthenticated tunnel, credential exposure for auth-backed servers, and shared-tunnel risk in workspace connectors. Point readers to vMCP for shared or credentialed setups.

Thanks for flagging those security concerns @amirejaz, I've addressed all three in a warning block and pointed readers towards vMCP for a proper multi-tenant and authenticated approach. |

Description
Adds a ChatGPT Desktop section to the client compatibility guide. ChatGPT Desktop only accepts MCP servers over HTTPS (no command-based config like Claude Desktop), so the new section documents exposing a local ToolHive workload via
thv proxy tunnelwith ngrok, including a worked example and the connector setup steps.The existing ChatGPT Desktop row in the compatibility table now links to this dedicated section instead of the generic STDIO-only configuration.
While here, also simplifies the existing STDIO-only workaround (for Claude Desktop):
--transport ssefrom both example commands. SSE is deprecated, and the workarounds work with whatever transport the server runs by default.thv proxy tunnelexample fromosvtoosv-tunnelso the two arguments are visibly distinct.Type of change
