/**
* <b>Handles the protocol initialization phase between client and server</b>
*
* <p>
* The initialization phase MUST be the first interaction between client and server.
* During this phase, the client and server perform the following operations:
* <ul>
* <li>Establish protocol version compatibility</li>
* <li>Exchange and negotiate capabilities</li>
* <li>Share implementation details</li>
* </ul>
*
* <b>Client Initialization Process</b>
* <p>
* The client MUST initiate this phase by sending an initialize request containing:
* <ul>
* <li>Protocol version supported</li>
* <li>Client capabilities</li>
* <li>Client implementation information</li>
* </ul>
*
* <p>
* After successful initialization, the client MUST send an initialized notification to
* indicate it is ready to begin normal operations.
*
* <b>Server Response</b>
* <p>
* The server MUST respond with its own capabilities and information.
*
* <b>Protocol Version Negotiation</b>
* <p>
* In the initialize request, the client MUST send a protocol version it supports. This
* SHOULD be the latest version supported by the client.
*
* <p>
* If the server supports the requested protocol version, it MUST respond with the same
* version. Otherwise, the server MUST respond with another protocol version it supports.
* This SHOULD be the latest version supported by the server.
*
* <p>
* If the client does not support the version in the server's response, it SHOULD
* disconnect.
*
* <b>Request Restrictions</b>
* <p>
* <strong>Important:</strong> The following restrictions apply during initialization:
* <ul>
* <li>The client SHOULD NOT send requests other than pings before the server has
* responded to the initialize request</li>
* <li>The server SHOULD NOT send requests other than pings and logging before receiving
* the initialized notification</li>
* </ul>
