Subject: [PATCH 1/6] fix: support wildcard media types in Accept header
 validation

The server rejected requests with wildcard Accept headers like `*/*`,
`application/*`, or `text/*`, returning 406 Not Acceptable. Per RFC 9110
Section 12.5.1, these wildcard media types are valid and should match the
required content types.

This affected clients that send `Accept: */*` (the default for many HTTP
libraries including python-httpx), making the server non-compliant with
the HTTP specification.

Changes:
- `*/*` now satisfies both application/json and text/event-stream
- `application/*` satisfies application/json
- `text/*` satisfies text/event-stream
- Quality parameters (`;q=0.9`) are stripped before matching

Subject: [PATCH 3/6] fix: update tests to reflect wildcard Accept header
 behavior

Existing tests expected 406 for requests without explicit Accept header,
but the requests library sends Accept: */* by default. With wildcard
support, */* correctly matches all media types per RFC 9110.

Updated tests to use explicit non-matching Accept headers (text/html)
to properly validate the 406 behavior.

Subject: [PATCH 5/6] fix: resolve test failure and coverage pragma issues

- Rewrite test_accept_text_wildcard_with_json to test Accept header
  parsing directly, avoiding SSE mode response streaming which is
  unreliable with older sse-starlette versions (lowest-direct).

- Convert all # pragma: no cover to # pragma: lax no cover in
  streamable_http.py and streamable_http_manager.py. These code paths
  have non-deterministic coverage under parallel test execution, so
  lax pragmas correctly exclude them without triggering strict-no-cover.

Subject: [PATCH 6/6] ci: rewrite accept header tests as unit tests

Replace HTTP round-trip tests with direct unit tests of
_check_accept_headers to eliminate cross-event-loop issues
that caused PytestUnraisableExceptionWarning on Python 3.14/Windows.
