Draft checkpoint — not ready to merge
This preserves work started against the connection-oriented MCP-over-ACP draft. The agreed stabilization target is now MCP 2026-07-28 ONLY, with no legacy compatibility requirement. The stateful HTTP adapter and connect/disconnect consumer API here are not the intended final design and may be removed rather than maintained.
Companion RFD modernization audit: agentclientprotocol/agent-client-protocol#2222
Work captured
Reusable vs superseded
Reusable: error/resource ownership investigation, per-request cleanup patterns, IDs/metadata preservation, isolation tests, explicit capability propagation.
Superseded/not a compatibility promise: MCP initialization, connection/session lifecycle as public transport contract, reverse RPC model, MCP-Session-Id, GET/DELETE session engine. The RFD audit recommends direct serverId routing and request-scoped notifications/cancellation with discovery, MRTR, and subscriptions. No dual-era mode is planned.
Validation
cargo fmt --all -- --checkpassed.cargo run -p agent-client-protocol-rmcp --example native_mcp_over_acp --features native_mcp_examplepassed, printing theechotool.mdbook buildandgit diff --checkpassed.just testrun is NOT green: it stops atagent-client-protocol-conductor/tests/trace_mcp_tool_call.rs, whose expected trace still has the old eager-connect/no-disconnect sequence. The merged implementation connects lazily and records disconnect. The snapshot has not been rewritten to bless a superseded design.Known incomplete work
rmcp 2.2.0recognizes the 2026-07-28 string but still defaults to 2025-11-25 and does not provide the required modern service model; this PR does not claim current MCP conformance.Keep this PR draft while the new wire contract and modern MCP dependency path are settled. Native stateless support can land independently of an optional modern HTTP adapter.
