Research direction

Start in tools.ts by reading the existing tools-call-with-progress scenario and its progress notification checks. Add a standalone scenario covering monotonic progress, total consistency and bounds, token matching, absent-token behavior, and cessation after completion. Done means each listed edge case has dedicated conformance validation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The existing tools-call-with-progress scenario in tools.ts validates basic progress notification delivery. However, several spec requirements lack dedicated validation:

  • Progress values MUST be non-decreasing across notifications for the same token
  • If total is provided, it SHOULD remain consistent or increase
  • progress SHOULD NOT exceed total
  • Progress notifications MUST reference the correct progressToken
  • No progress notifications should be sent when no progressToken was provided in the request
  • Progress notifications MUST cease after the request completes

I'll submit a PR adding a standalone progress-notifications scenario covering these edge cases.
