/**
* TEST-C1: HTTP Transport Session Isolation Tests
*
* These tests verify that the HTTP transport mode does not leak data between
* concurrent client requests. This is critical for SEC-C1 vulnerability mitigation.
*
* Risk: Cross-client data contamination could leak sensitive Docker host credentials
* or container information between users in HTTP mode.
*
* NOTE: These tests focus on the HTTP transport layer behavior, not full MCP protocol.
* They verify that the StreamableHTTPServerTransport properly isolates concurrent requests.
