## Title

    [MCP C# SDK client OAuth] 'Resource URI in metadata (...) does not match the expected URI (...)' — PRM resource must equal the endpoint URL or its bare origin

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): The client accepts only an exact (normalized, case-insensitive) match with the endpoint URI or the authority-only base URL, per the spec's canonical server URI rules; a missing resource also fails.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
