# Expected failures for the carried-forward 2026-07-28 legs # (`--suite all --spec-version 2026-07-28` for both server and client). # # This baseline is separate from expected-failures.yml because entries are # keyed by scenario name only: a scenario that passes at its default version # in the 2025 legs but fails when forced to 2026-07-28 (or vice versa) cannot # be expressed in a shared file (the passing leg would flag the entry as # stale). Like expected-failures.yml, this single file covers both # directions: the client 2026 leg reads the `client:` section and the server # 2026 leg reads the `server:` section. Both burn down independently of the # 2025 legs. # # Baseline established against @modelcontextprotocol/conformance pinned in # .github/workflows/conformance.yml (CONFORMANCE_VERSION = 0.2.0-alpha.4). # New conformance releases are adopted by deliberately bumping that pin and # reconciling both this file and expected-failures.yml in the same change. # # Entries are grouped by what unblocks them. As each gap closes the # corresponding scenarios start passing and MUST be removed from this list # (the runner fails on stale entries), so the baseline burns down per # milestone. client: # --- No stateless client path on main yet --- # client.py drives the 2025 stateful lifecycle (initialize handshake + # session). The 2026-mode mock server is stateless, so the call sequence # never reaches the assertion. Unblocks when client.py's is_modern_protocol() # branch takes the per-request _meta path. - tools_call # --- SEP-837 (application_type during DCR) --- # The sep-837-application-type-present check only fires on 2026-version # runs; the client omits application_type during Dynamic Client # Registration, so every auth scenario that reaches DCR fails it on this # leg (the same scenarios pass at their default version in the 2025 legs). - auth/metadata-default - auth/metadata-var1 - auth/metadata-var2 - auth/metadata-var3 - auth/scope-from-www-authenticate - auth/scope-from-scopes-supported - auth/scope-omitted-when-undefined - auth/token-endpoint-auth-basic - auth/token-endpoint-auth-post - auth/token-endpoint-auth-none - auth/offline-access-not-supported # --- Auth scenarios cut short by the 2026 connection lifecycle --- # The auth fixture flow drives the 2025 stateful lifecycle; the 2026-mode # mock rejects the MCP POST before the scope-escalation behaviour these # scenarios measure, so no authorization requests are observed.
