Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Proceed with caution

Why
It is the canonical interop substrate we already build on, but the RC is an explicit breaking change with no compatibility shim; we want it, but only after validating our transport/lifecycle code against the RC during the ten-week window rather than chasing GA blind.
Next
Pin our MCP servers to 2025-11-25 in prod; spin up a non-prod 2026-07-28 RC branch to test stateless transport + per-request token validation against our existing session assumptions before the July 28 GA.
