On Windows the venv Python binary lives at .venv/Scripts/python.exe, not .venv/bin/python. Fall back to the Windows path when the Unix path does not exist so the script works cross-platform.

|

|

Runs all 4 keepalive experiments against the running local-mcp server.
|
||
|
||
Requirements:
|
||
- Server must be running at http://localhost:8000
|
||
- Server keepalive interval must be set to 2s (KEEPALIVE_INTERVAL_SECONDS=2.0)
|
||
- Server default_wait_seconds should be >= 30 (e.g. 50)
