Root cause: Test was starting container in detached mode without setting
MCP_MODE. The node application defaulted to stdio mode, which expects
JSON-RPC input on stdin. In detached Docker mode, stdin is /dev/null,
causing the process to receive EOF and exit immediately.
When the test tried to check /proc/1/environ after 3 seconds, PID 1 no
longer existed, causing the helper function to return null instead of
the expected NODE_DB_PATH value.
Solution: Add MCP_MODE=http to the docker run command so the HTTP server
starts and keeps the container running, allowing the test to verify that
NODE_DB_PATH is correctly set in the process environment.
This fixes the last failing CI test in the fix/fts5-search-failures branch.
