An unknown prompt name and a missing required prompt argument are client input errors, but prompts/get raised them with the default Internal Error (-32603). The tools/call, resources/read, and completion/complete siblings already return Invalid Params (-32602) for the same not-found and missing-input conditions (resources/read via ResourceNotFoundError, per SEP-2164).
Add an explicit error_code so both map to -32602 while keeping the descriptive message and the existing instrumentation labels.
## Motivation and Context
`lib/mcp.rb` currently declares all `require_relative` statements in one place.
As a result, Server and Client are both loaded, the stdio and Streamable HTTP
transports are both loaded, and Tool, Prompt, and Resource are all loaded,
regardless of which components are actually used.
These components are selected by the user depending on their use case,
so loading everything upfront is unnecessary.
Using `autoload` for selected constants defers loading until the constant
is actually referenced, so only the subsystems required by the user are loaded.
## How Has This Been Tested?
All existing tests pass unchanged.
## Breaking Change
None. This change only defers loading of unused components.
`Prompt#validate_arguments!` called `required_args` which does `arguments_value.filter_map`,
crashing with `NoMethodError` when `arguments_value` is `nil` (the default for prompts without
declared arguments). Additionally, passing `nil` as args caused a crash on `args.keys`.
Fix by defaulting `arguments_value` to `[]` and guarding against `nil` args.
Previously, the `icons` parameter was always included in responses (as an empty array)
even when not configured. This differs from the response representation in MCP Ruby SDK 0.4.0.
Since `icons` is optional, it should be omitted from responses when unused to reduce
unnecessary context window usage.

This fix applies to `Tool#to_h`, `Prompt#to_h`, `Resource#to_h`, `ResourceTemplate#to_h`,
and `Server#server_info`.
It doesn't seem critical, but if there are no other issues, it would be good to cut 0.5.1 bugfix release soon.
## Summary
Unlike applications, libraries provide value by remaining usable for a broad range of users,
even when that means supporting older Ruby versions beyond Ruby's own EOL timeline.
I maintain RuboCop, a Ruby linter. Because linters need to work across the ecosystem,
they often need to keep compatibility with older Ruby versions to some extent.
The trade-off is that the MCP Ruby SDK must remain compatible with Ruby 2.7.
However, given the ecosystem impact, supporting Ruby 2.7 is still worthwhile.
For example, bundled gems such as `csv` (Ruby >= 2.5), `bigdecimal` (Ruby >= 2.5), `json` (Ruby >= 2.7),
and `language_server-protocol` (Ruby >= 2.5) tend to keep compatibility with older Ruby versions.
Unlike dropping support, which imposes restrictions on users,
this change broadens compatibility and does not introduce breaking changes.
## Development Note
`rubocop-shopify` (2.18) supports Ruby 3.1+, and this PR does not change that.
Since RuboCop can configure the runtime Ruby version and the target Ruby version for analysis independently,
CI continues to run RuboCop on Ruby 4.0, while analyzing code with `TargetRubyVersion: 2.7`.
When setting `TargetRubyVersion: 2.7`, several RuboCop offenses were resolved.
Additionally, Sorbet-related libraries support Ruby 3.0+. Since these are not dependencies of the MCP Ruby SDK itself,
they are versioned and tested in the development Gemfile.
- Updated `call` method in `MCP::Tool` and `MCP::Prompt` to accept `server_context` as an optional parameter.
- Refactored `MCP::Server` to streamline argument handling for tool and prompt calls, introducing helper methods `call_tool_with_args` and `call_prompt_template_with_args`.
- Adjusted tests to reflect changes in method signatures and ensure compatibility with optional `server_context` parameter.
