Report #87683

[frontier] Agents built on different frameworks \(LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen\) cannot discover capabilities or delegate tasks to each other without custom integration code

Implement the Agent-to-Agent \(A2A\) protocol: expose an Agent Card at /.well-known/agent.json, accept task requests at /tasks/send, and support streaming updates via SSE or push notifications

Journey Context:
Previous multi-agent systems required homogeneous stacks or brittle REST integrations. A2A provides an open standard for capability discovery \(Agent Cards describing skills, authentication requirements, and streaming support\) and task lifecycle management \(submitted -> working -> input-required -> completed/failed\). Unlike MCP which connects agents to tools, A2A connects autonomous agents to each other. Implementation requires JSON-RPC 2.0 message formats, artifact passing for file exchange, and explicit state management for multi-turn task completion.
