## Motivation and Context The MCP authorization specification (2025-11-25 scope-selection-strategy) and RFC 6750 Section 3.1 describe OAuth 2.0 step-up authentication: the client already holds a valid access token, but the server returns a 403 with `WWW-Authenticate: Bearer error="insufficient_scope", scope="..."` to demand a higher-privileged scope for a specific operation. The client is expected to run a fresh authorization request with the escalated scope and retry. Until now the Ruby SDK only ran the OAuth flow on 401 responses. A 403 surfaced unchanged as a `RequestHandlerError` and the operation that needed the escalated scope failed permanently, even with a valid token in storage. This lined up with the `auth/scope-step-up` conformance scenario being listed in `conformance/expected_failures.yml`. The change adds: - `MCP::Client::HTTP#send_request` recognises a 403 carrying an `insufficient_scope` Bearer challenge as a step-up signal, re-runs a full authorization request with the scope from the challenge, and retries the original request. Retries are capped at one per `send_request` call so a server that repeatedly demands more scope cannot loop the transport. - `run_step_up_flow!` deliberately bypasses the refresh-token path that `run_oauth_flow!` uses on 401. Refreshing would re-issue the same scope set the existing token already has and the server already rejected. Only a fresh `authorization_code` grant with the escalated scope can succeed. - A plain 403 with no `insufficient_scope` challenge continues to surface as `RequestHandlerError` with `error_type: :forbidden`. - `conformance/client.rb` invokes a tool for the `auth/scope-step-up` scenario; the scenario's authorization middleware only requires the escalated scope on `tools/call`, so the previous `tools/list`-only client could never trigger the second authorization. - `auth/scope-step-up` is removed from `conformance/expected_failures.yml`. Resolves #383. ## How Has This Been Tested? New `HTTPOAuthTest` cases cover: the 403 insufficient_scope path re-authorizes with the escalated scope from the challenge and retries the original request with the new bearer token; a plain 403 without the `insufficient_scope` challenge is surfaced as `error_type: :forbidden` with no OAuth side effects; repeated `insufficient_scope` responses retry at most once and then surface the 403; a provider with a saved `refresh_token` still goes through the full authorization request rather than exchanging the refresh token, because the existing scope set is precisely what was rejected. Conformance: `auth/scope-step-up` now passes 22/22 with no warnings. `bundle exec rake test`, `bundle exec rake rubocop`, and `bundle exec rake conformance` are all green. ## Breaking Changes None. Behaviour on 401 is unchanged. A 403 without the `insufficient_scope` Bearer challenge still raises the same `RequestHandlerError` as before. The new retry only fires when both the WWW-Authenticate header signals step-up and the transport was constructed with an OAuth provider.
