Fix SSE event classification to follow spec for missing event field

[iaJingda]

Fix HttpClientStreamableHttpTransport silently dropping SSE frames that omit the event: field, in violation of the SSE specification.

Motivation and Context

Per the SSE specification (WHATWG HTML Living Standard §9.2.6):

If the field name is "event": Set the event type buffer to field value. If the event: line is absent, the event type buffer is empty, and the event is dispatched as a message event.

The current reconnect() / GET SSE stream path in HttpClientStreamableHttpTransport uses a strict equality check:

if (MESSAGE_EVENT_TYPE.equals(sseResponseEvent.sseEvent().event())) {

When a server emits a bare data: frame without an accompanying event: line (which is valid per the spec), event() is null and the frame is silently dropped. This manifests as server-initiated notifications never reaching the handler after initialization completes.

Note the asymmetry: the sendMessage() POST path does not check the event type at all and is unaffected, which is why initialize() succeeds on HttpClient. The bug only impacts server-pushed messages on the open GET stream.

Originally reported in #885 against the Spring WebClientStreamableHttpTransport variant, which was moved to Spring AI 2.0 in #805. This PR fixes the HttpClient variant that remains in this repository.

How Has This Been Tested?

Added HttpClientStreamableHttpTransportSseEventTypeTest with parameterized unit tests covering:

• null and empty event names → parsed as message (the bug scenario)
• Explicit "message" → parsed as message (regression)
• Non-message events (ping, error, notification, MESSAGE/Message case variants, custom names) → not parsed as message

Verified locally:

./mvnw test -pl mcp-core -Dtest=HttpClientStreamableHttpTransportSseEventTypeTest
→ Tests run: 9, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0

./mvnw validate -pl mcp-core
→ BUILD SUCCESS

./mvnw test -pl mcp-core
→ BUILD SUCCESS (no regressions)

Breaking Changes

None. This is a pure bug fix that relaxes an overly strict check to match the SSE specification. Existing behavior for explicit "message" events is preserved, and non-message events are still ignored.

Types of changes

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
• Documentation update

Additional context

Implementation note: I extracted the classification into a package-private static helper isMessageEvent(String) rather than inlining the null/empty check. This keeps the call site readable, documents the spec rule in one place (with a link to WHATWG §9.2.6 in the Javadoc), and enables direct unit testing without setting up an HTTP server.

Scope: This PR only addresses the HttpClient variant in this repository. The WebClient variant mentioned in #885 lives in Spring AI 2.0 after #805 and would need a separate fix there. See my comment on #885 for details on the asymmetry between the POST and GET paths.
