Combine multiple lifespans into a single lifespan.
Useful when mounting FastMCP into FastAPI and you need to run both your app's lifespan and the MCP server's lifespan.
Works with both FastAPI-style lifespans (yield None) and FastMCP-style lifespans (yield dict). Results are merged; later lifespans override earlier ones on key conflicts.
Lifespans are entered in order and exited in reverse order (LIFO).
Args:
*lifespans: Lifespan context manager factories to combine.Returns:
