Clarify whether notifications/resources/list_changed should be sent if the list of resource templates changes #3226

Description

@mkouba

What's broken?

The spec is ambiguous or self-contradictory

Where in the spec or docs?

https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2026-07-28/server/resources#list-changed-notification

What should happen?

The spec should explicitly define what a client/server should do about resource template list changes.

What actually happens?

The spec is ambiguous - it doesn't explicitly say what a client/server should do about resource template list changes.

It could be that:

  1. notifications/resources/list_changed is intended to cover both - resources and resource templates, and clients should re-fetch both lists, or
  2. Template list changes are simply not covered by the current spec.

Anything else?
