Fix status: workaround_only Workaround (not a fix): Version-downgrade shim for unknown future protocol headers (reported in other projects; not verified here). Misleading approaches: - Successful initialize does not prove compatibility; failure appears on later POSTs. Unknowns: - First TS SDK version accepting 2026-07-28 Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://github.com/CodeWithCJ/SparkyFitness/issues/2155 (github_issue, unknown (image built 2026-08-14), maintainer_confirmed_cause): Server with TS SDK 1.29.0 rejected Claude.ai connector POSTs with 'Unsupported protocol version: 2026-07-28 (supported versions: ...)' from validateProtocolVersion; fix is SDK upgrade.
