* HTTP Client Communication Example.
*
* This example demonstrates server-to-client communication over HTTP:
* - Logging notifications
* - Progress notifications (via SSE streaming)
* - Sampling requests (mocked LLM response)
*
* Usage:
* 1. Start the server: php -S 127.0.0.1:8000 examples/server/client-communication/server.php
* 2. Run this script: php examples/client/http_client_communication.php
*
* Note: PHP's built-in server works for listing tools, calling tools, and receiving
* progress/logging notifications. However, sampling requires a concurrent-capable server
* (e.g., Symfony CLI, PHP-FPM) since the server must process the client's sampling
* response while the original tool request is still pending.
*
* Eg. symfony serve --passthru=examples/server/client-communication/server.php --no-tls
