chroma-mcp uses pydantic-settings which auto-reads .env/.env.local from
the CWD. When the project directory contains non-chroma variables (e.g.
CELERY_TASK_ALWAYS_EAGER), pydantic rejects them with "Extra inputs are
not permitted", crashing the subprocess and triggering a permanent
backoff loop. Passing cwd: os.homedir() to StdioClientTransport ensures
pydantic never reads project env files.
