* [Capability] Remove CompletionProvider's dead providerClass argument
It always threw on construction, so it never worked in any release. `provider:`
takes the same class-string and is now the first positional argument.
* Reword Changelog
docs/stateless-lifecycle.md walks the revision end to end - per-request
_meta, server/discover, multi round-trip requests, caching and subscriptions
- and a runnable example on each side shows what that looks like in code.
CI matrixes both conformance roles over both revisions. --spec-version is
cumulative across the dated revisions, so 2025-11-25 covers the two before
it; 2026-07-28 is not cumulative with them and needs its own run against its
own baseline. The runner is pinned so a PR only goes red for reasons in the
PR, and conformance-weekly tracks the moving target instead - on both
revisions, since the draft scenarios ship only on the alpha dist-tag.
The Inspector cannot reach a modern-lifecycle server (it opens with
initialize), so the example is covered by integration tests instead: one
drives it with hand-built HTTP the way a conforming client would, one drives
it with this SDK's client, and one drives the single endpoint from both eras.
* [Client] Speak the 2026-07-28 lifecycle
On that revision the client opens with server/discover instead of
initialize, stamps each request's _meta with the protocol version, its own
capabilities and client info, and sends the standard Mcp-Method / Mcp-Name /
Mcp-Param-* headers an intermediary routes on. ToolCatalog is what knows,
from the tool list, which arguments a call has to mirror.
An input_required result is answered rather than surfaced: InputRequestResolver
asks the host's elicitation, sampling and roots handlers and retries the same
request carrying inputResponses and the requestState the server sent.
McpHeader holds the header names and the =?base64?…?= sentinel, so the two
sides no longer keep their own copies of the same rules.
* Fix CI baseline drift and address Copilot review findings
Drop stale expected-failure entries the new client fixture now passes.
Copilot review: fix McpHeader round-trip for a wrapper-shaped literal,
encode empty/numeric-keyed inputResponses as a JSON object, stop the
incident example repeating side effects on MRTR retry, and reset
ToolCatalog on reconnect instead of carrying the previous server's
verdicts.
* Skip DualEraExampleTestCase on PHP 8.1
PHP_CLI_SERVER_WORKERS does not reliably fork multiple php -S
workers there (php/php-src#9400), reproducing the single-worker
deadlock the extra workers exist to avoid.
* harden sampling tools against the spec
Report tool-flow violations as -32602 instead of dropping the request,
accept resource_link in tool results, gate tools on sampling.tools, and
reject empty content.
* normalize keyed content arrays to lists
array_filter() and friends preserve keys, and a keyed array serializes as a
JSON object instead of the content-block array the schema requires.
* [Client] Implement setMaxRetries connection retries
* [Client] Reject a negative retry count in Configuration
* [Client] Use a positive init timeout in the retry test
* [Client] Drop redundant docblock note on setMaxRetries
* [Client] Clear the initialized flag on a failed connection
* [Client] Trim comments to the non-obvious ones
* [Client] Cover retries and timeout cleanup with integration tests
The retry fixture counts the processes it was started as, which is what
separates a real retry from a second call into the same server. The timeout
fixture outlives the client's patience and then goes idle, so the next
request runs on a connection the client already gave up on once.
* [Tests] Introduce client-server integration tests
* Add an in-process loopback that connects a real client transport to a real
server transport, draining both Fiber loops in one synchronous pass instead
of polling. A stalled exchange fails where it happened rather than hanging.
* Cover protocol version negotiation across both implementations, where the
unit tests only ever drive one side against a canned counter-offer.
* Cover the server-to-client round-trips end to end: elicitation, sampling,
roots, plus progress and logging notifications.
* Add the `integration` test suite and a `make integration-tests` target.
* [Tests] Run the integration suite in CI
The unit job pins `--testsuite=unit`, so the new suite would never have run on
GitHub. It goes in that job rather than its own: the loopback leans on Fibers,
and the matrix is what covers them down to the PHP 8.1 floor.
* [Tests] Run integration tests against a real server process
Replaces the in-process loopback with the setup from examples/client: the
client spawns a fixture server over the real StdioTransport, so the tests
exercise the shipped transports and no longer nest both sides' Fibers.
Moves the suite into its own CI job, matrixed over PHP 8.1-8.5.
