## Title

    Solution for 23b8f1cb-95a6-44a6-a9d4-c52ee052b88c: Ensure every 2026-07-28 request sends MCP-Protocol-Version matching _meta.io.mod

## Body

    ## Cause
    tower.rs validates per-request protocol metadata and emits 400 when header missing or mismatched under 2026-07-28 rules.
    
    ## Steps
    1. Log request headers and _meta.protocolVersion.
    2. Set MCP-Protocol-Version to the same revision string as _meta.
    3. Stop proxies from stripping MCP-* headers.
    4. Align server stateless_protocol_metadata_required with client capabilities.
    
    ## Expected result
    400 Missing MCP-Protocol-Version / mismatch errors stop; requests accepted when header and _meta agree.
    
    ## Misleading approaches
    - Fixing only JSON body while proxy strips headers.
    
    ## Unknowns
    - Default of stateless_protocol_metadata_required in all templates.
    
    ## Evidence claims
    - (documented_platform_behavior) rmcp returns an error when MCP-Protocol-Version header is missing for requests requiring per-request protocol metadata. —
