Python: feat: Add Agent Framework to A2A bridge support (#2403)

* feat: Add Agent Framework to A2A bridge support

- Implement A2A event adapter for converting agent messages to A2A protocol
- Add A2A execution context for managing agent execution state
- Implement A2A executor for running agents in A2A environment
- Add comprehensive unit tests for event adapter, execution context, and executor
- Update agent framework core A2A module exports and type stubs
- Integrate thread management utilities for async execution
- Add getting started sample for A2A agent framework integration
- Update dependencies in uv.lock

This integration enables agent framework agents to communicate and execute within the A2A (Agent to Agent) infrastructure.

* fix: Update references from agent_thread_storage to _agent_thread_storage in A2A executor tests

* Refactor A2A agent framework and improve code structure

- Reordered imports in various files for consistency and clarity.
- Updated `__all__` definitions to maintain a consistent order across modules.
- Simplified method signatures by removing unnecessary line breaks.
- Enhanced readability by adjusting formatting in several sections.
- Removed redundant comments and example scenarios in the execution context.
- Improved handling of agent messages in the event adapter.
- Added type hints for better clarity and type checking.
- Cleaned up test cases for better organization and readability.

* fix: Lint fix new line added

* test: Add unit tests for AgentThreadStorage and InMemoryAgentThreadStorage

* refactor: Update type hints to use new syntax for Union and List

* fix: Validate RequestContext for context_id and message before execution

* Refactor tests and remove A2aExecutionContext references

- Deleted the test file for A2aExecutionContext as it is no longer needed.
- Updated A2aExecutor tests to remove dependencies on A2aExecutionContext and adjusted method calls accordingly.
- Modified event adapter tests to use ChatMessage instead of AgentRunResponseUpdate.
- Removed A2aExecutionContext from imports in agent_framework.a2a module and updated type hints accordingly.

* Refactor A2AExecutor tests and remove event adapter

- Updated test cases to use A2AExecutor instead of A2aExecutor for consistency.
- Removed mock_event_adapter fixture and related tests as A2aEventAdapter is deprecated.
- Consolidated event handling tests into TestA2AExecutorEventAdapter.
- Adjusted imports in various files to reflect the removal of deprecated components.
- Ensured all references to A2aExecutor are updated to A2AExecutor across the codebase.

* refactor: Remove AgentThreadStorage and InMemoryAgentThreadStorage classes from threads and tests

* feat: A2AExecutor to have its own override able save and get threads methods for persistent storage.

* fix: linter bugs

* removed unnecessary changes form core package

* new line added

* Refactor A2AExecutor tests and update imports

- Consolidated mock agent fixtures in test_a2a_executor.py to simplify agent mocking.
- Removed redundant tests related to thread storage and agent types, focusing on A2AExecutor's core functionality.
- Updated test assertions to reflect changes in message handling with new Message and Content classes.
- Enhanced integration tests to ensure compatibility with the new agent framework structure.
- Added A2AExecutor to the module exports in __init__.py and __init__.pyi for better accessibility.

* Update A2A documentation: enhance usage examples for A2AAgent and A2AExecutor

* Updated uv lock

* Fix metadata assertion in TestA2AExecutorHandleEvents and reorder load_dotenv call in agent_framework_to_a2a.py

* Update agent card configuration: add default input and output modes, and fix agent creation method

* Fix assertion for metadata in TestA2AExecutorHandleEvents

* Fix formatting issues in TestA2AExecutorExecute and TestA2AExecutorIntegration

* Enhance A2AExecutor documentation with examples and clarify agent execution process

* Revert uv lock to main

* Refactor A2AExecutor: Improve formatting and streamline constructor parameters

* Apply suggestions from code review

* Refactor A2AExecutor to use SupportsAgentRun and enhance logging; update agent framework sample for flight and hotel booking capabilities

* Enhance A2AExecutor with streaming support and custom run arguments; update tests for initialization and execution scenarios

* Enhance A2AExecutor event handling with streamed artifact tracking; update tests for new behavior

* Refactor A2AExecutor to enforce type hints for stream and run_kwargs attributes

* Refactor A2AExecutor and tests: replace AsyncMock with MagicMock for response stream handling; clean up imports in agent_framework_to_a2a.py

* refactor: streamline imports and improve code readability across multiple files

* feat: enhance A2AExecutor cancel method with context validation and fixed review comments

* feat: implement get_uri_data utility function for extracting base64 data from data URIs and update references

* fix: update import path for get_uri_data utility function in A2AExecutor and A2AAgent

* fix: correct error message handling in A2AExecutor and update test assertions

"""Execute AI agents using the A2A (Agent-to-Agent) protocol.
The A2AExecutor bridges AI agents built with the agent_framework library and the A2A protocol,
enabling structured agent execution with event-driven communication. It handles execution
contexts, delegates history management to the agent's session, and converts agent
responses into A2A protocol events.
The executor supports executing an Agent or WorkflowAgent. It provides comprehensive
error handling with task status updates and supports various content types including text,
binary data, and URI-based content.
