* [Schema] Omit the id of an error response that never had one
An error response whose id could not be read sent `"id": ""`, which claims
the peer issued a request with an empty-string id - a different statement
from "the id could not be read". JSON-RPC spells the latter as a null id,
and a receiver that cannot read the id is exactly the case the code covers.
[BC Break] Error::$id accepts null and getId() may return it. All the for*()
factories default to null, fromArray() accepts a missing or explicitly-null
id, and the member is omitted from the serialized form when absent.
* Guard null response id in Client/Server Protocol handlers
Also fix Error::jsonSerialize()'s phpdoc: data belongs inside error, not beside it.
* [Schema][Server] Close the 2025-11-25 schema gaps and add the 2026-07-28 surface
Ports the type definitions this SDK still misses outside of sampling tool use,
which #409 and #420 already cover. Every addition is optional and defaults to
current behaviour, so a connection negotiated on an older revision is
unaffected.
From 2025-11-25, elicitation gains modes. ElicitationMode splits `form` —
build a form from the requested schema — from `url`, which sends the user out
of band and returns only the accept/decline/cancel outcome. That is why
requestedSchema becomes optional and `url` appears beside it.
ClientCapabilities learns the matching sub-capabilities, where an
`elicitation` naming no mode declares form, the only shape that existed
before. Icon gains `theme` from the same revision, and Implementation gains
the `title` BaseMetadata has carried since 2025-06-18.
From 2026-07-28, schemas loosen where the revision loosens them: SEP-2106
drops the object-only restriction, so Tool::outputSchema may describe any JSON
value and CallToolResult::structuredContent follows.
The same revision defines three error codes (-32020 header mismatch, -32021
missing required client capability, -32022 unsupported protocol version).
ProtocolVersionMiddleware switches to the last of them, so a rejected version
carries the supported set as structured data the client can retry from rather
than only as prose.
* [Schema] Reject what the 2026-07-28 types cannot represent
`Implementation::title` reached the typed constructor unchecked, so malformed
wire data raised a TypeError instead of InvalidArgumentException.
`ToolUseContent::input` accepted a list and serialized it as a JSON array,
where the protocol requires an object. The empty array stays exempt: it is
also an empty map and still emits `{}`.
`ToolChoice` and `ElicitRequest` read their mode with isset(), which is false
for an explicit null, so `{"mode": null}` silently became the default instead
of being rejected. Both use array_key_exists() now, letting the existing type
check refuse null.
* [Client][Server] Advertise the implementation title through both builders
`Implementation::title` could be parsed but never sent: neither
`Client\Builder::setClientInfo()` nor `Server\Builder::setServerInfo()`
accepted one, so every SDK user emitted null.
Both gain a trailing optional `$title`. On the server it sits where the
Implementation constructor already puts it, so existing positional calls keep
their meaning; the client builder forwards it by name, leaving the icons and
websiteUrl slots defaulted.
* [Schema] Serialize every non-null structuredContent
The object-only hydration guard was never that: `!is_array()` admitted
`[1, 2, 3]` and `[]`, which serialize to JSON arrays, while rejecting the
scalars 2026-07-28 permits. The truthiness emission gate was backwards in the
same way — it dropped `[]`, `0`, `false` and `""`, yet emitted lists, strings
and an empty stdClass.
Hydration now accepts any JSON value, and `null` alone means absent, matching
`ToolResultContent` which already carries this field that way. Which values a
given revision permits is a question for version-aware serialization, which
results cannot answer yet.
* [Schema][Server] Make url elicitation reachable
`ElicitRequest::forUrl()` built a request no SDK user could send: the only
public gateway method always constructed form mode from an ElicitationSchema,
and `request()` is private.
`elicitUrl()` joins `elicit()`, and both funnel through one send path that
hydrates the result with the request's own mode. Without that, a url-mode
accept — contentless by design — threw, because ElicitResult requires content
whenever the action is accept. The result carries no discriminator of its own,
so the mode has to come from the request it answers.
`supportsElicitationUrl()` reports whether the client named the mode, reusing
the sub-capability reader the sampling checks already use.
* [Schema] Add CHANGELOG entry for the 2026-07-28 surface
* [Capability][Schema][Server] Carry the widened structuredContent end to end
Review follow-up on the SEP-2106 widening, which stopped at the type.
`ToolReference::extractStructuredContent()` returned `?array`, so a tool
declaring a scalar `outputSchema` had its result dropped and logged as
unsendable. It returns `mixed` now and keeps a scalar — but only from
2026-07-28 on, and only when the tool declared an outputSchema: without one
the value is already carried in `content`, and advertising it twice is not an
improvement.
`CallToolHandler` only warned about list-shaped `structuredContent` on a
self-built `CallToolResult`, so a scalar reached revisions that require an
object unremarked. The check is on the shape now, not on the list case alone.
`ElicitResult` retained a `content` the spec says is absent from url-mode
results, leaving a malformed response indistinguishable from a valid one.
`Tool::jsonSerialize()` emitted the empty root schema as `[]`, which is not a
schema at all. Sub-schemas already had this treatment.
