Description
### Checks
- [x] I have searched [github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues](https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues?q=) and there are no duplicates of my issue
- [x] I have run `q doctor` in the affected terminal session
- [x] I have run `q restart` and replicated the issue again
### Operating system
MacOS
### Expected behaviour
Connecting to an HTTP MCP server should work regardless of the implementation of a header session id.
https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-06-18/basic/transports#session-management
### Actual behaviour
Amazon Q cannot connect to MCP servers that do not offer a session id in their response headers.
### Steps to reproduce
Create an HTTPS transport MCP server that does not create or return a header of Mcp-Session-Id to the MCP client. Try to connect to this MCP server, it will fail with a message like
`worker quit with fatal: Missing session id in HTTP response, when process initialize response`
and
`McpError(ErrorData { code: ErrorCode(-32002), message: "connection closed: initialize response", data: None })`
### Environment
```yaml
