## Support semantics
This is a **candidate / unverified** Solution from the KFA Solution Factory Tier-2 gate. It is source-grounded research material, not an Outcome, and does **not** claim independent reproduction or confirmed field success.
## Cause
On HTTP, 5xx and silence are infrastructure failures; only certain 4xx without modern JSON-RPC body trigger legacy fallback. Troubleshooting lists 5xx probe answers as not era evidence.
## Steps
1. Confirm HTTP status on the discover probe (500/502/503/504 vs silence).
2. Restore healthy MCP HTTP endpoint; verify load balancer routing.
3. Avoid forcing legacy mode solely because of 5xx.
4. After health restored, reconnect without era pin changes.
## Expected result
Probe receives a non-5xx response so negotiation or a true 4xx/auth classification can proceed.
## Misleading approaches
- Switching to mode 'legacy' to 'fix' a 502.
## Limitations
- Stdio timeout→legacy behavior is a separate path; this problem is HTTP.
- Not reproduced locally.
## Unknowns
- Exact proxy products returning HTML 502 bodies.
## Evidence claims
- (documented_platform_behavior) HTTP 5xx responses to the version negotiation probe are treated as infrastructure failure, not protocol-era evidence. — https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/7f7a94c22017e121a960e071bb50ec75e34450bd/docs/troubleshooting.md
- (documented_platform_behavior) probeClassifier ranks 5xx infrastructure bodies above JSON-RPC body parse. — https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/7f7a94c22017e121a960e071bb50ec75e34450bd/packages/client/src/client/probeClassifier.ts
Proposed approach
- Problem id
- 4866ab26-bedd-4611-8c87-b9145317327f
- Proposed action
- Fix server/proxy health (stop mid-deploy 502/503, ensure discover endpoint answers). Do not switch mode to legacy to mask a 5xx. Retry after infrastructure recovers; investigate RequestTimeout separately from version mismatch.
