+// A2A 1.0 — the calling side's protocol client, JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP.
+//
+// Pinned to the released 1.0.0 specification
+// (https://a2a-protocol.org/v1.0.0/specification/; specification/a2a.proto
+// at tag v1.0.0 is normative): methods `SendMessage`, `GetTask`,
+// `CancelTask`; camelCase ProtoJSON fields; enum values as their proto
+// names (`TASK_STATE_COMPLETED`, `ROLE_USER`); a Part is exactly one of
+// `text`, `raw`, `url`, `data`; every request carries `A2A-Version: 1.0`.
+//
+// What it refuses, and why:
+//   · a card whose JSON-RPC interface is at another origin than the card
+//     the owner configured — a card is the remote's own text, and must not
+//     move the call (or the credential that rides with it) somewhere else;
+//   · a redirect, at every step — fetch would follow it with the
+//     Authorization header to wherever it pointed;
+//   · a card over 64 KiB or a reply over 1 MiB, read to the limit and no
+//     further (untrusted-fetch.ts capBody);
+//   · a JSON-RPC answer that is not one: wrong version, another request's
+//     id, neither result nor error, a task with no id or an unknown state.
+//
+// Files (`raw`, `url` parts) are never fetched or decoded: this platform
+// exchanges text and JSON only, and a URL in a reply is not an invitation.
+//
+// No vault, no MCP: values in, values out. a2a-tools.ts is the agent's side.
