Giles Odigwe 4ad96b64e7 Python: [BREAKING] Migrate agent-framework-a2a to a2a-sdk v1.0 (#5752)
* Python: Migrate agent-framework-a2a to a2a-sdk v1.0

Upgrade the a2a-sdk dependency from v0.3.x to v1.0.0 and migrate all
source, tests, samples, and documentation to the v1.0 API.

Key changes:
- Dependency: a2a-sdk>=1.0.0,<2 (was >=0.3.5,<0.3.24)
- Types are now protobuf-based: Part replaces TextPart/FilePart/DataPart
- Enums use SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE (e.g. TaskState.TASK_STATE_COMPLETED)
- Roles: Role.ROLE_AGENT, Role.ROLE_USER
- Client: SendMessageRequest wrapper, subscribe() replaces resubscribe()
- Server: A2AStarletteApplication replaced by Starlette + route factories
- DefaultRequestHandler now requires agent_card parameter
- TaskUpdater: final parameter removed, add_artifact gains last_chunk
- AgentCard.url removed; use supported_interfaces with AgentInterface
- Stream yields StreamResponse with WhichOneof('payload')

Closes #5661

* Address PR review: validate fallback URL, remove unused task_id vars

- Raise ValueError with clear message when transport negotiation fails
  and no fallback URL is available (neither url arg nor supported_interfaces)
- Remove unused task_id local in status_update branch
- Inline artifact_event.task_id directly in artifact_update branch

A2A Package (agent-framework-a2a)

Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol support for inter-agent communication.

Main Classes

  • A2AAgent - Client to connect to remote A2A-compliant agents.
  • A2AExecutor - Bridge to expose Agent Framework agents via the A2A protocol.

Usage

A2AAgent (Client)

from agent_framework.a2a import A2AAgent

# Connect to a remote A2A agent
a2a_agent = A2AAgent(url="http://remote-agent/a2a")
response = await a2a_agent.run("Hello!")

A2AExecutor (Server/Bridge)

from agent_framework.a2a import A2AExecutor
from a2a.server.request_handlers import DefaultRequestHandler
from a2a.server.routes import create_agent_card_routes, create_jsonrpc_routes
from a2a.server.tasks import InMemoryTaskStore
from starlette.applications import Starlette

# Create an A2A executor for your agent
executor = A2AExecutor(agent=my_agent)

# Set up the request handler (agent_card is required)
request_handler = DefaultRequestHandler(
    agent_executor=executor,
    task_store=InMemoryTaskStore(),
    agent_card=my_agent_card,
)

# Build a Starlette app with A2A routes
app = Starlette(
    routes=[
        *create_agent_card_routes(my_agent_card),
        *create_jsonrpc_routes(request_handler),
    ]
)
