Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Adopt the July revision through a staged migration with compatibility tests.

Why
The final specification and implementations are available, with limited conformance demonstrations and observed migration failures.
Next
Pin compatible SDKs and test discovery, authorization, routing headers, caching and multi-round-trip behavior across actual client/server combinations.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Breaking lifecycle changes require migration.
  • Mixed-version interoperability needs explicit testing.
  • Authorization discovery and version handling have produced observed failures.
  • Limited conformance coverage leaves production behavior to validate.
