feat(server): broadcast config changes to all connected clients

When one client mutates configuration through the server, every other client viewing the same workspace now refreshes its cached configuration snapshot automatically. Previously each client held a stale local copy until restart. Also flush the SSE response header eagerly so newly attached subscribers see the connection accepted before any events arrive.
