Description
The in-process resolver still calls the deprecated sync.GetMetadata RPC on every (re)connect, but the same data is now carried by SyncFlagsResponse.sync_context. flagd is removing the RPC in open-feature/flagd#2069.
We can drop the call and rely solely on sync_context; the only doc change needed is to note the minimum flagd version that emits it (v0.12.6).

Research direction
Start by locating the in-process resolver's reconnect flow and its use of sync.GetMetadata. Remove that call while relying on SyncFlagsResponse.sync_context, then update the related documentation to state that sync_context requires flagd v0.12.6 and verify the resolver no longer invokes the deprecated RPC.
