## Motivation and Context
The MCP specification requires an `initialize` request followed by `notifications/initialized`
before any other interaction. Issue #334 makes that handshake explicit on the stdio client,
matching the Python SDK (`ClientSession.initialize()`) and TypeScript SDK (`Client.connect(transport)`).
The change was staged to avoid a hard break. Phase 1 (#336) added `MCP::Client::Stdio#connect`
while keeping an implicit-init compatibility shim on the first `send_request`.
Phase 2 (#338) emitted a deprecation warning when that shim ran. The warning has shipped since 0.16.0,
so this final phase removes the shim.
## How Has This Been Tested?
`send_request` now raises a `RuntimeError` when `connect` has not been called, and no longer
auto-starts the subprocess. `connect` is the sole entry point that spawns the process and
performs the handshake, which avoids leaving an orphaned subprocess behind.
The stdio test suite was reworked to call `connect` explicitly, a regression test was added for
the new guard, and `rake test` passes (1145 runs, 0 failures).
## Breaking Changes
Stdio clients that send requests without calling `MCP::Client#connect` now raise a `RuntimeError`
instead of silently initializing. Call `client.connect` before the first request.
