…omment - Updated MITM CLI to accept --scenario-id flag - Fetches scenario description from data.json - Writes description as comment lines (// prefix) at start of log file - Added tests for scenario ID functionality

- Fixed path to use process.cwd() correctly when running from compliance directory - Removed unused parseArgs import
- Created generate-goldens.ts script to run all scenarios and capture logs - Added npm script 'generate-goldens' for easy execution - Script supports stdio and SSE transports (streamable-http pending) - Added --no-cache flag to test script to prevent tsx from generating artifacts
- Remove rootDir restriction to allow imports from parent directories - Fix duplicate ListPromptsResult import - Note: SDK still has API compatibility issues that need addressing
- Updated @modelcontextprotocol/sdk dependency from 1.0.0 to 1.15.0 - Fixed client.ts to use correct API for SDK 1.15.0: - Updated all client method calls to use object parameters instead of strings - Removed event handler methods that don't exist in SDK 1.15.0 - Added comments for features not available in current SDK version - Fixed server.ts to use correct API for SDK 1.15.0: - Removed extra parameter from tool/resource handlers - Fixed resource registration to use 4-parameter format - Changed prompt argumentSchema to argsSchema - Replaced system role with user/assistant roles in prompts - Simplified transport setup for SSE (not fully implemented) - Updated test binaries to use relative paths with import.meta.url The TypeScript SDK now builds successfully and binaries are functional. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ures - Use SDK's built-in RegisteredTool.enable()/disable() methods - Remove manual trigAllowed state checking in cos/sin implementations - Automatic tool change events are now handled by the SDK - Update comments to reflect current SDK capabilities 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add tsx command to mitm invocation in generate-goldens script - Add allowUnknownOption() to test-client to handle mitm options - Fix scenario data path resolution (remove duplicate 'compliance' in path) - Generate initial golden files for scenarios 1-7 The mitm tool already had --log support but the test-client was rejecting it as an unknown option. Now the full pipeline works for stdio scenarios. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
… appending - Modified generate-goldens to continue running all scenarios even when some fail - Fixed mitm tool to replace log files instead of appending (was using 'a' flag, now uses 'w') - Generated golden files for 20 out of 25 scenarios (5 failures due to missing features) The failures are expected: - Scenario 8: Pagination not implemented - Scenario 14: SSE transport not implemented in test harness - Scenario 15: Progress tracking not implemented - Scenario 18: Prompt pagination not implemented - Scenario 19: Streamable HTTP transport not implemented 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Replace process.cwd() with __dirname to find scenarios/data.json - Remove failed environment variable approach - Add --scenario-id flag back to mitm invocations - Issue: --scenario-id is still being consumed before reaching mitm
- Add -- separator in generate-goldens to prevent test-client from parsing mitm's --scenario-id - Remove .allowUnknownOption() from test-client since we now use -- to separate args - Use __dirname instead of process.cwd() for reliable path resolution in mitm - Change log file flags from 'a' to 'w' to replace content instead of appending - Successfully regenerated 23 out of 25 golden files with scenario descriptions 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add CrossSDKRunner module to execute SDK client/server combinations - Create test suite using Node's test runner with describe/it blocks - Add comparison logic to validate captured traffic against golden files - Create script to orchestrate cross-SDK testing with SDK selection - Add npm script for easy cross-SDK test execution The cross-SDK testing allows running any SDK's client against any SDK's server and comparing the captured JSON-RPC traffic with golden files to ensure protocol compliance across implementations. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Move compliance/goldens/ to compliance/scenarios/goldens/ - Update all references in generate-goldens.ts and cross-sdk.test.ts - Better organization: keeps scenario data and golden files together 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
…er/recipient - Remove timestamp field from AnnotatedJSONRPCMessage type - Update all interceptors to stop adding timestamps to messages - Update generate-goldens and cross-sdk-runner to pass client-id and server-id to MITM - Remove timestamp normalization from validation code and tests - Ensure proper sender/recipient info (e.g. client1, CalcServer) is included This simplifies log comparison by removing non-deterministic timestamps and ensures clear identification of message senders/recipients in the logs. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
…/to fields - Move sender/recipient from metadata to top-level from/to fields - Remove transport field from metadata (no longer needed) - Place from/to fields before message for better readability - Update all interceptors and validation code to use new structure - Ensure metadata is optional and only contains streamable_http_metadata - Update tests to match new structure This simplifies the message structure and makes sender/recipient more prominent in the logs. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
