Three defects hidden by tests pinned to the handshake era, where a raw
exception reaches the wire as str(exc). At 2026-07-28 the runner masks
anything that is not an MCPError/ValidationError as "Internal server error".
- _on_read_resource / _on_get_prompt now translate FastMCPError through
to_mcp_error, mirroring _on_call_tool. Masking is unchanged.
- FastMCPProxy registers a server/discover handler so upstream instructions
reach modern clients; on_initialize only fires for the handshake.
- ProxyProvider's list methods normalize transport failures into MCPError.
The era-gate blocked every ctx.sample/sample_step on a 2026-07-28
connection, but a server-configured sampling handler answers server-side
without the client back-channel. Gate only when the request would hit the
removed client path; force the handler path (client_available=False) on
modern so "fallback" goes straight to the handler instead of a bare
client-attempt failure.
