mcp-repl 0.1.4

//! Session resurrection: keeping the REPL usable when the server loses the
//! session underneath it.
//!
//! A remote MCP server that restarts, OOMs, or sits behind an edge returning
//! 502/503 leaves the client holding a session id the server no longer knows.
//! Every subsequent request fails, and without recovery the prompt is dead
//! until the user quits and reconnects by hand.
//!
//! [`Session`] holds the live [`McpClient`] behind a swappable slot plus the
//! recipe for building a fresh one. When a command fails with a session-loss
//! error, the REPL rebuilds the connection from scratch (new transport, new
//! session id, fresh handshake) and retries the command once.
//!
//! Rebuilding rather than reusing the transport is deliberate: the existing
//! HTTP transport still carries the dead `Mcp-Session-Id`, so re-initializing
//! on it can fail the same way. A new transport starts from no session at all.
