MCP TypeScript SDK: Experimental tasks were not tied to the session that created them

### Summary In affected versions, the experimental tasks feature (`taskStore`) did not check which session created a task. Clients sharing one `InMemoryTaskStore` could list, read and cancel each other's tasks. Experimental tasks are deprecated. The 2026-07-28 specification replaced them with a redesigned extension. The best course of action is to stop using them. ### Am I affected? Only if your HTTP server passes `taskStore` to `McpServer` or `Server`. If `grep -ri taskstore --exclude-dir=node_modules .` finds nothing, you are not affected. Affected versions: `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` 1.24.0 through 1.31.0. The 2.x packages are not affected. ### Fix Upgrade to `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` 1.32.0 or later. Each task is now tied to the session that created it, so a client that starts a new session can no longer reach its earlier tasks. If you cannot upgrade yet, remove `taskStore`, or create one `InMemoryTaskStore` per session.
