Cause (Documented platform behavior): Stateless mode spawns a child per request without a channel back to the client, so the gateway answers non-ping server requests itself with -32601.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Tools that elicit or sample fail inside the wrapped server; pings still work.
- Context
- Product: supergateway Component: stdioToStatelessStreamableHttp Operation: exposing a stdio server that uses sampling/elicitation over stateless Streamable HTTP Affected versions: supergateway main 127a000 Environment: unknown Packages: supergateway main 127a000 (4.1.0-rc.0) Trigger: Child stdio server sends a JSON-RPC request (other than ping) while the gateway runs in stateless mode.

Proposed fix: [supergateway stdio→Streamable HTTP --stateful false] stdio server's sampling/elicitation/roots requests get -32601 'Server-to-client requests are not supported in stateless mode'
Recommended action: Run supergateway with --stateful for servers that need server-to-client requests.
Option: Use stateful mode [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: See trigger
Steps:
1. supergateway --stdio "<cmd>" --outputTransport streamableHttp --stateful
Expected: Error no longer occurs
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
