Round 4. Two leftovers from moving the build into the shared helper, both
invisible here because `scripts/` is prettier-gated but not ESLint-gated,
so an unused binding fails nothing:
- smoke-web-elicitation.mjs imported `existsSync` solely for the local
early return that is gone.
- pack-and-verify.mjs kept `composableServer` and its `composableServerPath`
import for the same reason; the helper now asserts that entry via
`requires: ["composable"]`.

Five `scripts/*.mjs` consumers each carried their own `ensureTestServer()`
that returned early when `test-servers/build` was already on disk. Presence
is not freshness: once that directory exists — which it does on any machine
that has run the smokes once — an edit to `test-servers/src` was never
picked up again, and the smoke went on driving the previously-built fixture.
The failure is silent and misattributed. It does not read as "your fixture
is stale"; it reads as a product bug in whatever the smoke is checking.
`scripts/lib/ensure-test-servers.mjs` is now the one place that build is
produced for a script consumer, and it builds unconditionally — memoized
once per process per repo root, so pack-and-verify's two asks stay one tsc
pass while a fresh run always rebuilds. Callers name the entries they
depend on and get one actionable failure message, replacing five that had
drifted. pack-and-verify also stops shelling out to `npx tsc`, which is
what made it the one script unrunnable on Windows (#1939).
`test-servers/tsconfig.json` gains `incremental` so the up-to-date case is
cheap: 3.0s cold, 1.6s incremental here.
Unconditional emit is still not a clean — `--noCheck` leaves the stale .js
of a deleted src file behind — which is unchanged from before and recorded
in the helper's header and AGENTS.md.

Eight findings from the Copilot review, all accepted.
Ownership across connections was the substantive one, in three parts. A
mid-session transport close reaches teardown only through
`clearAndAnnouncePendingPeerRequests`, whose emptiness check looked at the
native queues alone — so a lone app elicitation survived a dropped connection
with its modal still open; the check now counts the active set too. The web
bridge factory resolves its client at call time, so an entry queued by a
replaced `InspectorClient` could rebuild against the *next* one and answer
through a different server; the host now drops every entry synchronously on
the swap (`AppElicitationController.failAll`) rather than racing core's
awaited teardown. And the request id was only monotonic within one client, so
each replacement client's first request was `app-elicitation-1` — settling
that id could resolve the wrong server's request. It now carries a
per-instance prefix.
Result validation now parses the whole value with `ElicitResultSchema` before
the requested-schema check, instead of inspecting `action` by hand: a
`{ action: "decline", content: { x: {} } }` used to pass, though the standard
result permits only primitives and string arrays in `content`.
The dialog's accessible name now includes the request id and the prompt — two
concurrent elicitations can be for the same app URI, and the previous name
made those indistinguishable, which is what the comment beside it claimed to
prevent.
`observeAppCapabilities` takes a minimal structural `onmessage` contract
(generic over the message type, since a handler typed for a narrower message
is not assignable to one typed for `unknown`), removing the double cast at the
call site.
`smoke:web:elicit` now fails on an uncaught page error after a successful
drive, and captures the async half of that class off the console channel, as
its two sibling smokes do — it could otherwise print OK over a broken bundle.
Adds the tests each fix needs, including the two the review asked for
directly: that `advertiseElicitation` reaches the `AppBridge` constructor, and
that it is absent by default.

Let a server hand a form `elicitation/create` to an MCP App and return the
app's ordinary `ElicitResult`, with the native elicitation form as the
fallback on every failure.
No second extension, no custom method, and no custom result shape: the only
new wire surface is a nested `elicitation` flag on the existing
`io.modelcontextprotocol/ui` extension on each side, plus
`_meta.ui.resourceUri` on the request. App rendering is selected only when
all four gates hold — client `elicitation.form`, client MCP Apps MIME type,
the nested `elicitation` setting on BOTH peers, and a valid absolute `ui://`
URI on the request.
Only the web client advertises the nested client-side setting, and only
because it has a sandbox renderer: supplying
`InspectorClientOptions.appElicitation` is what opts a client in, so CLI and
TUI keep advertising the MIME type without ever claiming they can resolve an
elicitation through an app.
Routing lives in the one funnel both entry points already use
(`enqueuePendingElicitation`), so the inbound handler and the MRTR driver
cannot diverge. Ownership is request-scoped — a per-request id keys the
renderer, iframe and bridge — so two concurrent elicitations can never
resolve through each other's bridges. An explicit `decline`/`cancel` is a
completed elicitation and goes back to the server; everything else (absent or
malformed metadata, resource/sandbox/bridge failure, an app with no
elicitation capability, a timeout, an invalid result or one that fails the
requested schema) falls back.
The Inspector speaks the ext-apps#733 / SEP-3118 wire protocol but cannot yet
consume its helpers — the released `@modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps` (1.7.5)
predates that PR. `core/mcp/appElicitation.ts` and
`AppRenderer/requestAppElicitation.ts` mirror it exactly and are marked for
deletion once a release containing it ships. One consequence needed its own
seam: ext-apps 1.7.5 parses the view's `ui/initialize` through a schema that
strips `elicitation`, so an app that correctly advertises it would look like
one that did not, silently turning every negotiated elicitation into a
fallback. `AppRenderer/appCapabilities.ts` records the raw frame instead, and
prefers the bridge's own value once it carries the key.
`AppRenderer` now takes an `AppRenderSource` union rather than a `Tool`, so
the same renderer and bridge factory serve an App tool and an elicitation
without either faking the other's shape.
Adds the public fixture (`app_choose_option` + a self-contained
`ui://demo/choose-option.html` app covering accept/decline/cancel), its two
showcase configs, and `smoke:web:elicit`, which drives the negotiated path
end to end in headless Chromium and then the same tool against a server that
never advertised the capability, asserting the native form takes it.
