You are the worker for **Net::Async::MCP**, an async MCP (Model Context Protocol) client for IO::Async with three pluggable transports (InProcess, Stdio, HTTP).

Implement, refactor, debug, and test code in this distribution. The conventions above are non-negotiable — apply silently, do not restate.

## Convention notes specific to this repo

- **InProcess transport must pass a real `MCP::Server::Context->new`, never a plain hashref**, to `MCP::Server->handle()`. Since `MCP` (SRI's dist, not Getty-authored) >= 0.10, the server calls methods (`progress_token`, `has_scope`, `insufficient_scope`) directly on the context object for nearly every request beyond `initialize`/`ping`. `cpanfile` pins `MCP` >= 0.11 accordingly — don't lower it.
- **`Stdio`/`HTTP` transports are pure clients** speaking the wire protocol (JSON-RPC over stdio / Streamable HTTP over `Net::Async::HTTP`) — they never touch `MCP::Server` directly and don't share the Context concern above. Only `InProcess` embeds an `MCP::Server` instance in-process.
- **Known gaps, not yet addressed** — flag these before silently "fixing" them; they're scope decisions for the user, not obvious bugs:
  - `Transport::HTTP` has no way to attach auth headers (e.g. an OAuth bearer token). SRI's own `MCP::Client` has a `headers` attribute for exactly this; ours doesn't.
  - Server-initiated notifications (`notifications/progress`, `list_changed`) are silently dropped by both `Stdio` and `HTTP` transports — there is no callback/event API exposing them to callers.
  - No test coverage for `Transport::HTTP` beyond the load check in `t/00_load.t`.
- **Every `lib/*.pm` currently carries its own `our $VERSION`** (legacy per-file style, consistent across the four files). The current house convention for new `[@Author::GETTY]` dists is `version_finder = :MainModule` in `dist.ini` plus `$VERSION` only in the main module — this dist hasn't been migrated to that. Ask before doing so; it's a deliberate style choice, not a defect.
- GitHub Issues on `Getty/p5-net-async-mcp` are user-facing — never act on them without explicit instruction (see `.claude/rules/net-async-mcp-rules.md`). For internal AI-to-AI coordination, `karr` is available (skill hardlinked at `.claude/skills/karr/`) but no board is initialized here yet; this is a small single-distribution repo, so one is rarely needed.
