- Remove artificial McpServices.* exclusion that was preventing business services from appearing
- The 'recursion threat' was a thinko - MCP protocol prevents actual recursion
- Trust permissions system to control access instead of hardcoded exclusions
- Now McpServices.list#Products appears in tools list alongside other permitted services
- Clean separation: permissions control access, not artificial filtering

This fixes the core issue where business services were hidden from tools/list
despite having proper security permissions.

Ean Schuessler committed 2025-11-19 22:21:53 -0600

Set Mcp-Session-Id header before writing response body to ensure proper
HTTP protocol compliance and MCP 2025-06-18 specification adherence.

Headers must be sent before any response data per HTTP standards.

ADMIN privileges for system access while maintaining MCP_USER authentication context.

Key changes:
- Capture actual authenticated user ID before service elevation
- Allow special case where Visit created with ADMIN but accessed by MCP_USER
- Fix request body reading to prevent consumption before processing
- Implement privileged execution pattern for secure system operations

- Add web facade initialization to handleJsonRpc method
- This prevents Moqui UserFacade null user session warnings
- Ensures proper HTTP session linkage for JSON-RPC requests
- JSON-RPC requests now work consistently like SSE connections

The null user loop was caused by ExecutionContext not having proper
web facade initialization for JSON-RPC requests, while SSE connections
were properly initialized. This fix ensures both request types have
consistent session management.

Ean Schuessler committed 2025-11-19 18:43:20 -0600

This ensures full compliance with MCP Streamable HTTP transport specification:
- Proper session management via headers instead of cookies
- Protocol version negotiation and validation
- Session ID validation for security
- Standards-compliant header handling
