feat(#83): offer move-to-env on args rows; explain the gate instead of an empty menu
Two things surfaced testing the GUI:

1. Args rows showed the secret warning but no move action -- the args
   editor is a free-text widget, not a table, and was deliberately left out
   of the first cut. Wired it up: ArgsEdit gains a context menu that offers
   "Move to environment variable…" on exactly the args that look like a
   credential. New pure core: secret_arg_indices (which args are secrets,
   mirroring args_secret_warning per-index) and suggested_env_var_for_arg
   (default var name from the preceding flag -- `--api-key <secret>` ->
   API_KEY, else SECRET). The move replaces that one arg line with ${VAR}
   and copies the secret to the clipboard, same contract as the tables.

2. On a Claude Desktop profile (or any non-expanding client) the menu showed
   NOTHING, so it read as broken. Now a real stored secret always shows the
   item -- enabled on a client that expands references, or disabled with the
   reason ("unavailable for Claude Desktop -- it doesn't expand ${VAR}") so
   the gate is visible rather than silent. Applies to env, headers and args.

Not a change: after converting, env_ref_warnings still notes a variable that
isn't set in the environment. That's #82's advisory doing its job -- the user
runs the export line the dialog handed them; auto-adding a ':-default' would
bake a fallback back into the config and defeat moving the secret out.

Tests: +5 core (secret_arg_indices for token/flag-value/embedded-URL/
reference-excluded, suggested_env_var_for_arg with and without a flag).
483 passed, ruff clean. GUI wiring (context menus) remains untestable in CI.

# PR #87 — "Move to environment variable" (#83): manual test checklist
The logic is covered by 15 unit tests in CI; what CI **can't** exercise is the GUI (no PySide6). This checklist is only the parts a human needs to click. Should take ~10 minutes.
## Setup
```bash
cd ~/Documents/Claude/Projects/BetterClaudeConfig/better-claude-config
git fetch origin
git checkout feat/83-move-to-env-var
git pull # ensure you're on 8fdbe90 or later
source .venv/bin/activate # or recreate: python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt
python bcc.py
```
Pick a **Claude Code** profile (e.g. `~/.claude.json`) that has, or add, a server with an env value that looks like a secret — e.g. `env: { "API_KEY": "ghp_test123" }`. (You can use a throwaway value; nothing is sent anywhere.)
## The checklist
### Gating — where the action appears
- [ ] Right-click the **value cell** of a secret env row (`API_KEY`) on a **Claude Code** profile → a **"Move to environment variable…"** item appears.
- [ ] Right-click a **non-secret** row (e.g. `REGION` = `us-east-1`) → the item does **not** appear.
- [ ] Right-click a row whose value is already a reference (`${API_KEY}`) → the item does **not** appear.
- [ ] Switch to a **Claude Desktop** profile (a `claude_desktop_config.json`), right-click the same kind of secret row → the item does **not** appear. (Desktop doesn't expand `${VAR}`, so offering it would break the config — this is the important gate.)
### The dialog
- [ ] Trigger the action → dialog opens with **Variable** pre-filled from the key, sanitized to a legal shell name (e.g. `api-key` → `API_KEY`).
- [ ] Edit the variable name → the shown **shell line updates live** and matches your platform (`export VAR='…'` on macOS/Linux, `setx VAR "…"` on Windows), with the other platform shown in parentheses.
- [ ] If you type a variable name that **is already set** in your shell environment, the green "already looks set" note appears; if not, it's hidden.
- [ ] **Cancel** → nothing changes (value still the raw secret, no dirty state).
### The conversion
- [ ] **Move && copy secret** → the cell now shows the reference `${VAR}` (visible, **not** masked to dots), and the window goes dirty (Save enabled).
- [ ] Paste from your clipboard somewhere → it's the **original secret value** (handed back before removal).
- [ ] The reference value is **not** flagged as a secret warning anymore (it's the recommended state).
### Headers + persistence
- [ ] Repeat on a **remote server's Headers** table (e.g. an `Authorization` header) → same behavior.
- [ ] **Save**, then open the config file on disk in a text editor → the servers block holds `${VAR}`, and the **plaintext secret is gone** from the file.
- [ ] Re-open the profile in BCC → the row still shows `${VAR}` (round-trips).
### Undo (nice-to-have)
- [ ] After a conversion, **Ctrl+Z / Cmd+Z** restores the previous value.
## Known scope (not bugs)
- **Args rows** are out of scope for this PR — the core supports them, but the args editor is a free-text widget, so wiring that UI is a deliberate follow-up. Right-clicking args won't offer the action yet.
- The "already set" check reads **BCC's** environment, which may differ from the client's — it's advisory, worded that way.
## If anything's off
Tell me which checkbox failed and what you saw; I'll fix on the branch and re-push. If everything passes, approve/merge #87 (or tell me to merge it).
