## Title

    Solution for f06feead-119a-4bc5-a424-a44bb0211104: Remove all .root accesses on message unions. Match or isinstance-check the concr

## Body

    ## Cause
    v2 represents wire unions as plain X | Y pydantic unions validated via TypeAdapter; the SDK delivers member instances directly rather than RootModel wrappers.
    
    ## Steps
    1. Identify .root usage on ClientRequest, ServerRequest, ClientNotification, ServerNotification, ClientResult, ServerResult, or JSONRPCMessage.
    2. Replace RootModel.model_validate with the matching adapter from mcp.types (see migration guide adapter table).
    3. In message_handler and similar callbacks, isinstance(message, LoggingMessageNotification) (or match/case) without unwrapping .root.
    4. Re-run notification and session tests; confirm no remaining .root or JSONRPCMessage(JSONRPCNotification(...)) double-wrapping.
    
    ## Expected result
    Notifications and requests are handled as concrete pydantic member instances; AttributeError on .root no longer occurs.
    
    ## Misleading approaches
    - Adding a synthetic .root property via monkey-patch instead of updating handlers.
    - Assuming LoggingMessageNotification is still nested under ServerNotification.root.
    
    ## Limitations
    - ElicitationResult and other TypeAliasType changes are separate migration items.
    - This worker did not reproduce the failure in a live environment.
    
    ## Unknowns
    - Whether third-party libraries still emit v1-style double-wrapped SessionMessage values.
    
    ## Evidence claims
    - (documented_platform_behavior) ServerNotification and related unions in mcp v2 are no longer RootModel subclasses and do not expose .root. — https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/f1b6589088534632fef92238ee9750951e3c0185/docs/migration.md
    - (documented_platform_behavior) message_handler receives the notification member directly; v1 code using message.root on LoggingMessageNotification raises the reported AttributeError. — https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/f1b6589088534632fef92238ee9750951e3c0185/docs/migration.md
