Descripción

## Problem

The Copilot runtime protocol supports `allowAllMcpServerInstructions`, but TypeScript SDK 1.0.11 does not provide a working `SessionConfig` path for it.

The generated RPC types contain the field, and the runtime describes it as including instructions from every MCP server instead of only allowlisted servers. However:

- `dist/types.d.ts` does not expose it on `SessionConfigBase`.
- `CopilotClient.createSession()` in `dist/client.js` does not serialize it into the `session.create` request.
- A consumer adding the property at runtime therefore has no effect.

This prevents evaluation harnesses and other SDK consumers from explicitly testing or enabling instructions from a non-allowlisted MCP server.

## Controlled reproduction

A one-turn probe used a temporary MCP server whose unique canary existed only in server-level initialization instructions. The tool description did not contain the canary, and the prompt prohibited tool calls.

- Stock SDK: agent returned `NO_MCP_INSTRUCTION_CANARY` (18,924 tokens, 1 turn, 0 tool calls).
- Consumer supplied `allowAllMcpServerInstructions: true` without changing SDK serialization: same negative result.
- Temporary SDK wiring that serialized the field into `session.create`, together with the consumer option: agent returned the exact instruction canary (19,028 tokens, 1 turn, 0 tool calls).

This isolates the missing SDK forwarding from model variance and MCP tool selection.

## Requested behavior

1. Add `allowAllMcpServerInstructions?: boolean` to the public TypeScript session configuration shared by create/resume paths as appropriate.
2. Serialize it to the runtime request and ensure resumed or updated sessions honor the same policy.
3. Preserve the secure default: omitted or `false` must continue to exclude instructions from non-allowlisted servers.

## Required side-by-side tests

Please cover both policy states using the same non-allowlisted MCP server fixture:

- **Disallowed:** omitted and explicit `false` do not expose the server instruction canary.
- **Allowed:** explicit `true` exposes the exact canary.
- The server's tools remain available in both states, proving the assertion concerns instruction visibility rather than MCP startup.
- Wire-level tests assert both `false` and `true` are serialized correctly where supplied.

The allow/disallow behavior should remain explicit rather than changing the default globally.

Línea de trabajo

Start with dist/types.d.ts and dist/client.js, then trace the generated RPC types and the CopilotClient.createSession() request path, including resume or update handling. Use the same non-allowlisted MCP server fixture for side-by-side tests and wire-level assertions. Done means omitted and false keep the canary hidden while true exposes it, with tools available in every case.
