## Title

    Solution for 37411468-57fa-42c4-848d-b224dd1ca17e: Inspect nested discover and fallback errors (auth, transport, version). Align cl

## Body

    ## Cause
    rmcp client initializes via discover then legacy fallback; both failing produces LegacyFallbackFailed; incompatible version lists produce NoCompatibleProtocolVersion.
    
    ## Steps
    1. Print full ClientInitializeError including LegacyFallbackFailed {discover, fallback}.
    2. If NoCompatibleProtocolVersion: update client/server supported versions.
    3. If auth in either phase: configure credentials / auth challenge handling.
    4. Ensure preferred protocol versions nonempty.
    
    ## Expected result
    Either discover or legacy initialize succeeds, or the nested error names a remediable auth/version cause.
    
    ## Misleading approaches
    - Treating top-level error as network-only without unwrapping nested causes.
    
    ## Unknowns
    - Server-specific discover rejection reasons.
    
    ## Evidence claims
    - (documented_platform_behavior) When discover and legacy initialize both fail, rmcp returns LegacyFallbackFailed wrapping both errors. — 
    - (documented_platform_behavior) NoCompatibleProtocolVersion reports client and server supported version lists. —
