+// `remotes:` as tools: a2a_send, a2a_status, a2a_reply, a2a_cancel.
+//
+// Built beside the API tools (api-tools.ts) and the same way: host-side for
+// an in-process step, rebuilt inside the sandbox from values for an isolated
+// one (run-container.ts). The model names a remote it was given; the URL,
+// the card and the credential are the owner's, and it never sees them.
+//
+// A send is never repeated behind the model's back, and a slow remote is
+// never a reason to send again:
+//
+//   · SendMessage goes with `returnImmediately: true`, so the remote's task
+//     id comes back at once and is written to a handle file before any
+//     waiting begins. The bounded wait after it is GetTask polling: when it
+//     runs out the tool says "still running" with the handle, and the work
+//     is not lost;
+//   · the handle record is written BEFORE the send, as "unconfirmed" — a
+//     send that dies mid-flight leaves a record, and the same request asked
+//     for again gets that record back, not a second send;
+//   · the message id is derived from the run, the step, the remote and the
+//     request, so a retried step sends the same id, which an A2A server may
+//     use to recognise the repeat (foldrun's own does);
+//   · the same request in the same step returns its existing handle, unless
+//     that task ended without success, when the model may deliberately try
+//     again.
+//
+// Handles live in the workspace's `state/a2a/<agent>/<run>-<step>.json`:
+// state is what runs accumulate, it survives a retried or resumed step (a
+// sandbox's writes come back with the step), and a deploy never touches it.
+// What is kept is ids and states — never a token, and a reply's text only
+// when the remote answered with a direct message and made no task (there is
+// nothing to ask for it again), cut to MAX_KEPT_ANSWER.
+// A handle names a remote by its configured name; the endpoint is always
+// read again from the owner's `remotes:`, never from the file.
