ExceptionGroup wrapping obscures real errors from task groups

Summary

When SDK internal anyio task group tasks fail, the real error is wrapped in a BaseExceptionGroup alongside Cancelled exceptions from cancelled sibling tasks. This makes error classification extremely difficult for callers — they cannot reliably determine the root cause of a failure.

There are 16 create_task_group() usages across the SDK with no except* syntax or ExceptionGroup unwrapping anywhere.

Expected Behavior

• Callers should receive the original exception, not an ExceptionGroup wrapping it alongside cancellation noise
• When a task group has one real failure and N cancelled siblings, only the real failure should propagate

Current Behavior

• A single connection failure produces a BaseExceptionGroup containing the real error plus multiple Cancelled exceptions
• Callers must manually unwrap exception groups to find the root cause
• This affects ~80+ call sites across the SDK where task groups are used

Affected Code

• src/mcp/shared/session.py (session task groups)
• src/mcp/client/streamable_http.py (transport task groups)
• All other create_task_group() sites

Commencez par lire la gestion des groupes de tâches dans src/mcp/shared/session.py et src/mcp/client/streamable_http.py, puis examinez les autres emplacements de create_task_group() mentionnés dans l’issue. Reproduisez une défaillance de connexion avec des tâches sœurs annulées et vérifiez que la véritable exception se propage sans bruit lié à l’annulation dans les sites d’appel concernés.
