+fix: support `exactOptionalPropertyTypes` TypeScript config
+
+Adds `| undefined` to optional callback properties in the `Transport` interface
+and `WebStandardStreamableHTTPServerTransportOptions` to support projects using
+`exactOptionalPropertyTypes: true` in their tsconfig.
+
+This allows explicitly passing `undefined` for optional callbacks like
+`sessionIdGenerator`, `onclose`, `onerror`, and `onmessage`.
+
+Fixes #1397
