…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
- Added parseJSONLLog function that parses JSONL files with comment support
- Comments (lines starting with //) are extracted as description
- Added comprehensive tests for the new functionality
- Function returns both the parsed messages and the optional description
- 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.

…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

- 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.

… 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

- 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

- 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.

…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.

…/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.

Implement elicitation request handler in the TypeScript SDK test client
to properly handle the ambiguous_add scenario (scenario 2). The handler
responds with value 20 when asked for 'b' parameter, allowing the
scenario to complete successfully.

- Create comprehensive test suite to validate SDK binary properties
- Test CLI argument parsing, transport support, and error handling
- Add --scenarios-data flag documentation to CLAUDE.md
- Validate binaries meet compliance requirements from spec

The tests ensure each SDK's test-client and test-server binaries:
- Exist and are executable
- Parse required CLI arguments correctly
- Reject invalid inputs with proper error messages
- Support required transports (stdio, sse, streamable-http)
- Exit with appropriate codes on errors

Tests skip gracefully for unimplemented features like --scenarios-data
flag validation, which will be added in SDK implementations.
