Requests without Origin are allowed. Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragments: - Forbidden: Invalid Origin header Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/rust-sdk/e02efbfc77825b003c5ca196fb06b3f1d262d938/crates/rmcp/src/transport/streamable_http_server/tower.rs (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): validate_origin_header: skip if allowlist empty (unless validate_empty_origin_allowlist), allow missing Origin, else 403 for invalid or disallowed Origin; example allowed_origins ["https://app.example.com:443","http://localhost:*"]. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/rust-sdk/e02efbfc77825b003c5ca196fb06b3f1d262d938/crates/rmcp/CHANGELOG.md (changelog, unknown, documented_behavior): 1.6.0 add Origin header validation; 3.4.0 enforce Origin validation semantics.
