## Title

    Solution for df47514d-32f1-4478-8138-7550c3b6fd5f: Either connect with versionNegotiation: { mode: 'auto' } against a server that s

## Body

    ## Cause
    subscriptions/listen is era-gated in the SDK; default negotiation lands on 2025-11-25 unless versionNegotiation is configured for modern era.
    
    ## Steps
    1. Confirm SdkError code METHOD_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_PROTOCOL_VERSION and message naming subscriptions/listen and negotiated 2025-11-25.
    2. If subscriptions/listen is required: recreate Client with versionNegotiation: { mode: 'auto' } and connect to a 2026-07-28-capable server; verify negotiated era before calling listen().
    3. If staying on 2025 era: remove listen(); enable ClientOptions.listChanged and use resources/subscribe for change notifications.
    4. Do not treat this as a server bug—no request reaches the transport.
    
    ## Expected result
    Either listen() succeeds on a 2026-07-28-era session or 2025-era change notifications work via listChanged/resources/subscribe without local SDK rejection.
    
    ## Misleading approaches
    - Investigating server-side subscription bugs when the error is raised locally pre-transport.
    - Calling listen() without negotiating 2026-07-28 on either client or server.
    
    ## Limitations
    - Server must actually support 2026-07-28 for the auto-negotiation path to enable listen().
    - Other METHOD_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_PROTOCOL_VERSION messages may reference different methods.
    
    ## Unknowns
    - Target server's highest supported protocol revision without live server/discover.
    
    ## Evidence claims
    - (documented_platform_behavior) subscriptions/listen requires a 2026-07-28-era connection; default client negotiation yields 2025-11-25. — https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/7f7a94c22017e121a960e071bb50ec75e34450bd/docs/troubleshooting.md
    - (documented_platform_behavior) The SDK raises METHOD_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_PROTOCOL_VERSION locally before the transport sends the method. — https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/7f7a94c22017e121a960e071bb50ec75e34450bd/docs/troubleshooting.md
    - (documented_workaround) Documented fixes are versionNegotiation auto against a 2026-07-28 server or listChanged/resources/subscribe on 2025 era. — https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/7f7a94c22017e121a960e071bb50ec75e34450bd/docs/troubleshooting.md
