test: Add minimal test coverage for CLI transport options

- Add tests for config files with different transport types (stdio, sse, streamable-http)
- Add test for backward compatibility with configs missing type field
- Verify transport and serverUrl options are correctly parsed from config files
- All 36 tests pass
