Description: Closes #2489. Problem BaseSession._receive_loop awaited each incoming request handler inline, so concurrent server→client requests (e.g. N create_message sampling callbacks launched via asyncio.gather) ran strictly one-at-a-time. Peak in-flight handlers = 1 regardless of fan-out. Fix Add an opt-in _dispatch_requests_concurrently flag on BaseSession that spawns each request handler in the session's task group via start_soon instead of awaiting it inline. ClientSession enables the flag. ServerSession stays serial because its _received_request has an InitializeRequest state machine (Initializing → respond → Initialized) that would race if a follow-up request were dispatched concurrently before the state transitioned. Collateral fixes Concurrent dispatch widens two latent RequestResponder races: Cancel-before-enter. __enter__ used to replace the cancel scope created in __init__. With concurrent dispatch, a CancelledNotification can arrive before the handler task enters with responder: — the pre-entry cancel() would then target a scope that is about to be thrown away. Fixed by not replacing the scope in __enter__. Double cancel / pre-entry cancel. cancel() is now idempotent (early return when already completed) and no longer requires _entered. Handler exceptions are translated into a JSON-RPC error response so a raising handler can't wedge the peer (otherwise the exception would propagate from the dispatch task and tear down the session's task group). Tests Four regression tests in tests/shared/test_session.py: test_concurrent_server_to_client_requests_run_in_parallel — N=4 fan-out, asserts peak concurrency = 4. test_sampling_callback_exception_returns_error_response — handler that raises still gets a JSON-RPC error reply for its id. test_double_cancel_does_not_send_second_response — idempotent cancel. test_cancel_before_context_entered_marks_scope_cancelled — cancel is safe before __enter__. test_handler_that_responds_then_raises_emits_no_duplicate_error — responded-then-raised handlers don't produce a second error for the same id. All 1174 tests pass; 100% branch coverage maintained; strict-no-cover, ruff, and pyright clean.
