The SDK could send elicitation/create requests from a server tool via ClientGateway::elicit(), but the client could not receive them: there was no request handler, and ElicitRequest was not registered in MessageFactory, so incoming elicitation/create messages failed to parse. This adds the client half, mirroring the existing Sampling pattern: - Register ElicitRequest in MessageFactory so elicitation/create parses. - ElicitationRequestHandler wraps a user callback and returns an ElicitResult (accept/decline/cancel) or an Error. - ElicitationCallbackInterface defines the callback contract. - ElicitationException forwards a specific message to the server; any other throwable returns a generic error. Includes unit tests, a runnable client example against the elicitation demo server, and client docs/README updates.

Type the parameter as AbstractSchemaDefinition and read ->title directly instead of matching on each concrete definition type. title is a required non-null string on the base class, so the match and the $name fallback were redundant. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
The SDK already supports server-initiated elicitation (
ClientGateway::elicit()), but the client could not receiveelicitation/createrequests:ElicitRequestwas not registered inMessageFactory, so incomingelicitation/createmessages failed to parse (InvalidInputMessageException).This PR closes that gap, mirroring the existing Sampling pattern one-to-one.
Changes
MessageFactory— registerElicitRequest::classsoelicitation/createparses (the critical fix).ElicitationRequestHandler— handles incomingelicitation/create, wraps a user callback, returnsResponse<ElicitResult>or anError.ElicitationCallbackInterface— the__invoke(ElicitRequest): ElicitResultcontract users implement.ElicitationException— throw from a callback to forward a specific message to the server; any other throwable returns a generic error (same semantics asSamplingException).MessageFactoryparse test.examples/client/stdio_elicitation.phpagainst the existing elicitation demo server.docs/client.mdElicitation section +README.mdcapability entries.ROADMAP.md: tick "Implement full support for elicitations" (now complete end-to-end).Usage
