## Title

    [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'

## Body

    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.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):

    Search phrasings: supergateway Server-to-client requests are not supported in stateless mode; supergateway elicitation stateless; supergateway --stateful sampling
