6//! Authentication interceptor and credential storage.
7//!
8//! [`AuthInterceptor`] injects `Authorization` headers from a
9//! [`CredentialsStore`] before each request. [`InMemoryCredentialsStore`]
10//! provides a simple in-process credential store.
11//!
12//! # Usage
13//!
14//! ```rust,no_run
15//! use std::sync::Arc;
16//! use a2a_protocol_client::auth::{
17//!     InMemoryCredentialsStore, AuthInterceptor, SessionId, CredentialsStore,
18//! };
19//! use a2a_protocol_client::ClientBuilder;
20//!
21//! let store = Arc::new(InMemoryCredentialsStore::new());
22//! let session = SessionId::new("my-session");
23//! store.set(session.clone(), "bearer", "my-token".into());
24//!
25//! let _builder = ClientBuilder::new("http://localhost:8080")
26//!     .with_interceptor(AuthInterceptor::new(store, session));
27//! ```
