19/// `"HTTP+JSON"`. The legacy `"REST"` spelling is still accepted when
20/// matching agent-card interfaces, but cards should advertise the
21/// canonical name.

69/// (`"hostname:port"`, per the proto's field comment since A2A `cfc9d34`),
70/// not a URL: gRPC names carry no scheme, and whether the channel is TLS is
71/// a property of the channel, not of the name. The official SDKs leave that
72/// choice to the caller (Python: a `grpc_channel_factory`; the A2A project's
73/// own Rust SDK: plaintext unless a rustls config is supplied). This SDK makes
74/// the choice explicit and defaults to the safe one.
75///
76/// An address that already carries `http://` or `https://` is used as-is; this
77/// policy applies only to bare `host[:port]` addresses.
