## Title

    [MCP elicitation form mode] -32602 'Elicitation requestedSchema only supports flat primitive properties (string, number, integer, boolean, and string enums)' — nested objects/arrays/unsupported const…

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Spec limits form-mode schemas to flat objects with primitive properties; the TS SDK enforces this and refuses schemas whose constraints would be silently dropped.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Other error fragments:
    - Elicitation requestedSchema contains unsupported JSON Schema constraint(s) after Standard Schema conversion
    - Elicitation requestedSchema lists required properties that are not defined in properties
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol/ab3a39c13bd23be691c2760e1c6c5c15a64582e1/docs/specification/2026-07-28/client/elicitation.mdx (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Form mode elicitation schemas are limited to flat objects with primitive properties only.
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/7f7a94c22017e121a960e071bb50ec75e34450bd/packages/core-internal/src/shared/elicitation.ts (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): Throws the three InvalidParams messages for non-flat schemas, dropped constraints and dangling required keys.
    
    Search phrasings: Elicitation requestedSchema only supports flat primitive properties; MCP elicitation nested object schema error; MCP elicitInput zod schema array not supported
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
