## Changes
- fix(server): keep SSE connection open until explicitly cancelled
- conformance: add logging to test_tool_with_logging and update
troubleshooting documentation
- chore(conformance): remove 5 passing server tests from conformance
baselines:
- tools-call-with-logging
- tools-call-with-progress
- tools-call-sampling
- tools-call-elicitation
- elicitation-sep1034-defaults
## Motivation and Context
Two bugs in StreamableHttpServerTransport caused server-to-client
notifications (e.g. notifications/message during tool calls) to be
silently dropped.
**Bug 1 — GET SSE stream closed immediately**
`handleGetRequest` rejected GET requests with 405 when
`enableJsonResponse = true` (which `mcpStreamableHttp` always sets).
Since the Ktor `sse {}` handler commits response headers before the body
runs, the reject failed silently and the function returned, causing Ktor
to close the SSE stream. There was also no `awaitCancellation()` to keep
the connection alive.
**Bug 2 — Notifications discarded in JSON mode**
In `send()`, notifications with a relatedRequestId entered the
POST-stream path but hit `if (!isTerminated) return` without being
forwarded anywhere.
**Fix**
- Remove the enableJsonResponse guard from handleGetRequest. The GET SSE
stream is an always-required notification channel, orthogonal to how
POST responses are delivered.
- Add `awaitCancellation()` to keep the GET SSE connection open until
the client disconnects or the transport closes.
- In `send()`, route notifications with a relatedRequestId to the
standalone GET SSE stream when `enableJsonResponse = true`.
## How Has This Been Tested?
Verified against the MCP conformance test suite — the
ToolsCallWithLogging scenario now passes. ngrep confirms the `GET /mcp`
stream stays open and `notifications/message` events arrive before the
`tools/call` response.
