tests/client/test_client.py: 14 failures on Windows — AttributeError: '...Result' object has no attribute '_meta'

Start by running uv run --no-sync pytest tests/client/test_client.py -q on Windows with the locked dependencies. Read the failing cases in tests/client/test_client.py and compare their CallToolResult snapshot arguments with the reported meta/_meta behavior. Done means the 14 failures are resolved and the client test file passes without weakening its expected results.

Initial Checks

• I confirm that I'm using the newest release of my line (the latest 2.x, or the latest 1.x if I'm still on v1)
• I confirm that I searched for my issue in https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/issues before opening this issue

Release line

2.x (current stable)

Description

On a clean checkout of main, tests/client/test_client.py fails with 14 errors of the form AttributeError: 'CallToolResult' object has no attribute '_meta'. Did you mean: 'meta'?

The snapshots pass the wire name (snapshot(CallToolResult(_meta={...}))), but inline_snapshot's generic_call_adapter.argument() does a plain getattr(value, '_meta') and the pydantic model exposes the field as meta. The data is there — the repr shows meta={'io.modelcontextprotocol/serverInfo': ...}.

I'd expect the test suite to pass on a fresh clone with locked dependencies.

Ruled out: unlocked dependency resolution (reproduced with --frozen and --no-sync), Python version (3.12.14 and 3.14.2 both fail), and a non-ASCII checkout path (reproduces under a plain ASCII path too).

I only have Windows to test on, so I don't know whether this reproduces on Linux or macOS. If CI is green, the difference is presumably platform-specific and I'm happy to run whatever would help narrow it down.
