TS SDK inbound classification emits Invalid _meta envelope for protocol revision 2026-07-28 when validation fails.\n\n## Steps\n1. Add _meta.io.modelcontextprotocol/protocolVersion with the active revision string.\n2. Add _meta.io.modelcontextprotocol/clientCapabilities object (empty object acceptable if no capabilities).\n3. Verify proxies do not strip _meta or rename keys.\n4.
