## Title

    [MCP TS SDK v2 client] "Cannot fulfil input request '<key>': no handler is registered for 'elicitation/create' on this client" — input_required result reaches a client without the matching handler

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): The client engine auto-fulfils embedded input requests only via registered handlers; without one it throws rather than silently declining.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
