Payload 3.91.0 reduces MongoDB memory usage, expands MCP find tools, and fixes large Azure uploads, alongside improvements to authentication sessions and the Admin UI.

- Admin UI: restores image thumbnails in folder lists and renders custom block views on initial load
- Authentication: brings activity-aware sessions to v3
