- Changes IJsonRpcMessage to an abstract base class so RelatedTransport will always be available - Streamable HTTP supports multiple concurrent HTTP request with their own indpendent SSE response streams - RelatedTransport indicates the source or destination of the JsonRpcMessage - Changes the default RequestId to a JSON number for better compatibility with MCP servers in the wild

- The GET endpoint should verify the presence of 'text/event-stream' in the Accept header rather than 'application/json', since the response is expected to be an SSE stream. Update the check to use 'text/event-stream' to correctly validate client support.
if (!acceptHeader.Contains("application/json", StringComparison.Ordinal))
src/ModelContextProtocol/AspNetCore/HttpServerTransportOptions.cs:30
- There is a duplicate word 'minutes' in the documentation comment. Remove the redundant 'minutes' for clarity.
/// minutes.
# Conflicts: # src/ModelContextProtocol/Protocol/Transport/StreamClientSessionTransport.cs # src/ModelContextProtocol/Shared/McpSession.cs
- Use StopOnFinalResponseFilter rather than stopping writer when final JsonResponse is received.
- Add SingleJsonRpcRequest_ThatThrowsIsHandled_WithCompleteSseResponse
