 """Cancellation interactions against the low-level Server, driven through the public Client API.
 
-There is no client-side cancellation API: cancelling means sending a CancelledNotification
-carrying the request id, which only the server-side handler can observe (`ctx.request_id`), so
-these tests capture the id from inside the blocked handler before cancelling. The handler blocks
-on an Event rather than a sleep, and every wait is bounded by `anyio.fail_after`.
+Client-side, cancelling means abandoning: cancelling the task that awaits a call makes the SDK
+carry the signal in the transport's own spelling (a cancelled frame on stream wires, closing the
+request's own response stream at 2026-07-28 streamable HTTP). The receiving-side tests instead
+script a CancelledNotification by hand, capturing the request id from inside the blocked handler.
