  • We still allow notification handlers to be configured pre-creation, eliminating any race conditions that may result from missed notifications. But now we also allow for post-creation notification handler registration.
  • Handlers may now also be removed. This permits temporary registrations that may be created in a scoped manner.
  • Registration handling is thread-safe.
  • Handlers are now cancelable.
  • Exceptions from notification handlers trigger all normal exception handling in the dispatch pipeline.

This also:

  • Adds a WithStreamServerTransport as a counterpart to WithStdioServerTransport. The latter was used in several tests in a hacky way, and that's now simplified via the former's existence.

So, what convinced you that registering notification handlers post session initialization was worthwhile? You seemed convinced that it wasn't too important before, and I'll admit, I couldn't come up with a super compelling use case.

Edit: Nvm, I just read #207 (comment)
