+/**
+* Drives a remote Streamable-HTTP MCP server over `fetch` — a client
+* {@link MCPMessageTransportInterface} for the Model Context Protocol, the egress mirror of
+* the server's `createMCPRoutes`.
+*
+* @remarks
+* - **One class, both faces.** It touches `fetch`, `Response`, `AbortController`,
+*   `AbortSignal`, and `WeakMap` alone, so it is host-independent and lives in core. Each
+*   environment face publishes its own `createHTTPClientTransport` over it —
+*   `@orkestrel/mcp/browser` and `@orkestrel/mcp/server` — and both factories return this
+*   class, so a reply reaches a page and a Node process through the same decode.
+* - **Request/response over `fetch`.** `send(message)` POSTs the JSON-serialized
+*   message to `options.url` with `content-type: application/json` and an
+*   `Accept` of both `application/json` and `text/event-stream` (so the server may
+*   answer with either framing) — plus any `options.headers` (for example, an `Authorization`
+*   bearer). It then decodes the reply and emits each decoded {@link JSONRPCMessage} on
+*   the `message` event the {@link import('@orkestrel/mcp').MCPClientInterface} subscribes
+*   to.
+* - **Both reply framings.** A `200` with an `application/json` body is parsed with
+*   `parseJSONRPCMessage`; a `200` with a `text/event-stream` body is decoded with the
+*   `@orkestrel/sse` {@link import('@orkestrel/sse').SSEParserInterface} ({@link
+*   readEventStream}) — the inverse of the server's `createStream` seam, so the wire
+*   round-trips. A `202`
+*   Accepted (a notification) carries no body and emits nothing.
+* - **Session and protocol headers.** `start()` is a no-op (a
+*   request/response transport opens no long-lived connection). The
+*   `mcp-session-id` response header, when a stateful server sends one (on
+*   `initialize`), is captured into `session` and then echoed as the
+*   `mcp-session-id` request header on every subsequent request — so an
+*   `MCPClient` passes a stateful server's session validation. The
+*   initialize result's `protocolVersion` is likewise captured, but only
+*   when it is a supported value, and echoed as `mcp-protocol-version` alone on
+*   subsequent legacy requests. Modern requests instead derive protocol and method
+*   headers from the message, plus the name header only for `tools/call` — carried in the
+*   protocol's Base64 sentinel form whenever the tool name cannot ride as plain ASCII.
+*   Before initialize returns, neither captured legacy header is sent.
+*   `close()` clears the captured protocol so a reconnect's `initialize`
+*   POST is headerless; the captured `session` persists across `close()`.
+* - **`close()` releases what is in flight.** Every `fetch` this transport still has open is
+*   aborted, which cancels the response body a `send` is reading — an SSE reply the server
+*   never ends would otherwise outlive the transport, with nothing left able to reach it. The
+*   aborted read surfaces on `error` and the `send` reporting it resolves. `close()` is
+*   idempotent (one `close` event per connected lifetime), and `start()` opens the next one.
+* - **Total at the boundary, and a non-success reply rejects.** Every reply is narrowed
+*   (`parseJSONRPCMessage`, the SSE decoder). A non-message success reply is dropped, never
+*   asserted. A non-success reply that carries no valid JSON-RPC message rejects `send` with
+*   an error naming its HTTP status and body shape — the peer answered, and answering the
+*   caller's request with silence would leave it waiting out its own deadline for a failure
+*   the transport already read. A valid JSON-RPC error body is emitted at any HTTP status,
+*   because the protocol carries that outcome in band. A `fetch` or decode failure on a
+*   success response surfaces on the `error` event rather than escaping `send`.
+* - **Observable.** Owns the `emitter` ({@link MCPMessageTransportEventMap}); fires
+*   `message` per decoded reply, `error` on a fault, and `close` on `close()`.
+*
+* @example
+* ```ts
+* const transport = new HTTPClientTransport({ url: 'http://localhost:3000/mcp' })
