//! MCP `elicitation/create` plumbing — server-to-client structured prompts.
//!
//! When Harn is acting as an MCP **server**, a tool handler can call
//! `mcp_elicit({ message, requestedSchema })` to ask the connected
//! client to surface a structured prompt to its end user. The reply
//! envelope is `{ action: "accept" | "decline" | "cancel", content?: ... }`,
//! where `content` is validated against `requestedSchema` (a JSON Schema
//! restricted to a flat object of primitives per MCP 2025-11-25).
//!
//! When Harn is acting as an MCP **client**, an inbound
//! `elicitation/create` request from a peer server is dispatched to the
//! embedder via the `HostCallBridge` (`capability="mcp"`,
//! `operation="elicit"`). If no host bridge is wired up, the client
//! responds with `{ action: "decline" }` so the server can make a
//! sensible fallback decision.
//!
//! See the spec at
//! <https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-11-25/client/elicitation>.
