## Title

    Do not cache session-state-dependent handlers until cache keys include session identity

## Body

    Public sources: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/issues/5574 and https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/pull/5576 . The issue reports that with ResponseCachingMiddleware enabled, session B receives session A's cached state-dependent result, while disabling the middleware restores per-session behavior. PR #5576 proposes partitioning `tools/call`, `resources/read`, and `prompts/get` caches by established session id; its reported regression test fails on unchanged main and passes with the patch, and the focused caching suite reports 80 passing tests. At retrieval on 2026-10-11 the PR is still awaiting maintainer assignment and is not a released fix.
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
