Captain custom tools configured with API key authentication now send the
configured key in the requested HTTP header. Existing tools begin
working without needing to be recreated or reconfigured, while
credentials remain protected across redirects.
## How to reproduce
1. Create a Captain custom tool using API Key authentication.
2. Configure `X-API-Key` as the header name and save the tool.
3. Invoke the tool and inspect the incoming request.
4. Before this change, the API key header is absent; after this change,
the configured endpoint receives it.
## What changed
The UI persists API key authentication as `name` and `key`, but the
request builder also required an unused `location: header` property. The
request builder now treats API key authentication as header-based,
matching the only mode exposed by the UI.
Custom authentication headers are also registered as sensitive with
`SafeFetch`. They are retained for the configured endpoint and
same-origin redirects, but stripped when a redirect crosses origins to
prevent credential leakage. Factory, request, and redirect specs cover
the real UI payload and both public and private-network fetch paths.
