Subject: [PATCH] feat: MCP 2026-07-28 dual-era protocol support (v1.11.0)

Implement the latest MCP revision alongside the classic lifecycle:

- New src/mcp/lifecycle.rs: per-request era detection via
  _meta["io.modelcontextprotocol/protocolVersion"], stateless modern
  handling, legacy initialize version negotiation, server/discover
  (DiscoverResult with supportedVersions/capabilities/instructions),
  UnsupportedProtocolVersionError (-32022), resultType + ttlMs/cacheScope
  cache hints on cacheable endpoints, serverInfo in result _meta.
- Legacy wire format stays byte-identical (pinned by tests); ping is
  legacy-only per the revision's removal.
- Tool annotations (readOnlyHint/destructiveHint/idempotentHint/
  openWorldHint) on all 52 tools via ToolHints.
- Verified against the official 2026-07-28 schema and live E2E against
  the ChatGPT desktop extension (Chrome/Edge rebrand: pipe name and
  protocol unchanged); docs updated for the ChatGPT desktop app naming.
- Bump version to 1.11.0 (Cargo.toml, npm/package.json, Cargo.lock),
  CHANGELOG, ROADMAP, ARCHITECTURE (dual-era decisions), AGENTS source
  map, README EN/zh (protocol support section, Edge support, rebrand).

+### Dual-era MCP lifecycle (`mcp/lifecycle.rs`)
+The 2026-07-28 revision removed the `initialize` handshake and protocol
+sessions; every request is stateless and carries its protocol version in
+`_meta`. The bridge serves **both eras from one binary**:
+
+- **Era detection is per request**: the presence of
+  `_meta["io.modelcontextprotocol/protocolVersion"]` selects modern handling;
+  anything else follows the legacy lifecycle. Legacy `_meta` (e.g.
+  `progressToken`) without the version key stays legacy.
+- **Legacy byte-compatibility is a hard requirement**: legacy envelopes pass
+  through untouched; modern framing (`resultType`, `_meta` serverInfo,
+  `ttlMs`/`cacheScope`) is applied only to requests that opted in. Tests pin
+  this (`legacy_tools_list_stays_byte_compatible`).
+- **Version negotiation**: `initialize` echoes a supported legacy revision or
+  offers the newest one; a modern request asking for an unsupported revision
+  gets `UnsupportedProtocolVersionError` (-32022) with the supported list.
+  A modern version requested through `initialize` negotiates down to legacy
+  semantics.
+- **`server/discover`** is always answered, even without version metadata —
+  that is the stdio compatibility probe.
+- **`ping` is legacy-only**: the 2026-07-28 revision removed it, so modern
+  requests get `-32601`.
+- **Lenient `clientCapabilities`**: the schema requires the field on modern
+  requests, but the bridge needs no client capabilities (no sampling /
+  elicitation / roots), so a missing value is treated as empty instead of
+  returning `MissingRequiredClientCapabilityError` (-32021).

+
+### Added
+
+- **MCP protocol revision `2026-07-28` support (dual-era server).** The bridge now serves both protocol eras from one binary:
+  - Legacy era (`2024-11-05` … `2025-11-25`): the classic stdio lifecycle. `initialize` now negotiates the protocol version — supported revisions are echoed back, unknown requests get the newest legacy revision offered. The legacy wire format is byte-identical to v1.10.x, so existing clients see no change.
+  - Modern era (`2026-07-28`, SEP-2567/SEP-2575): stateless requests. Requests carrying `params._meta["io.modelcontextprotocol/protocolVersion"]` are answered without an `initialize` handshake. Results carry the required `resultType` field, server identity in `_meta["io.modelcontextprotocol/serverInfo"]`, and `ttlMs`/`cacheScope` cache hints on cacheable endpoints (`tools/list`, `resources/list`, `resources/read`, `prompts/list`, SEP-2549). Unsupported versions return `UnsupportedProtocolVersionError` (-32022) with the supported list.
+  - `server/discover` (required for servers under the new revision) advertises supported versions, capabilities, and instructions; it is also answered without version metadata so modern clients can probe compatibility on stdio.
+  - `ping` is answered for legacy clients only; the 2026-07-28 revision removed it.
+- **MCP tool annotations** (`readOnlyHint`, `destructiveHint`, `idempotentHint`, `openWorldHint`) on all 52 tools, introduced by revision `2025-03-26`. Clients use the hints for approval UX and retry decisions; `openWorldHint` is always true because every tool reaches a live browser.
+- `initialize` results now include natural-language `instructions` describing effective bridge usage.
+
+### Changed
+
+- New `src/mcp/lifecycle.rs` module owns version negotiation, era detection, modern result framing, and spec error envelopes.
+- Verified against the official `2026-07-28` schema (`DiscoverResult`, `CacheableResult`, `ResultType`, error-code allocation `-32020`…`-32099`).
+- Verified against Codex v0.148.x: extension capabilities (`viewport`, `pageAssets`, `browserTabMentions` protocol v1) remain fully covered by the existing tool surface.
