6//! Request/response interceptor infrastructure.
7//!
8//! Interceptors let callers inspect and modify every A2A request before it is
9//! sent and every response after it is received. Common uses include:
10//!
11//! - Adding `Authorization` headers (see [`crate::auth::AuthInterceptor`]).
12//! - Logging or tracing.
13//! - Injecting custom metadata.
14//!
15//! # Example
16//!
17//! ```rust
18//! use a2a_protocol_client::interceptor::{CallInterceptor, ClientRequest, ClientResponse};
19//! use a2a_protocol_client::error::ClientResult;
20//!
21//! struct LoggingInterceptor;
22//!
23//! impl CallInterceptor for LoggingInterceptor {
24//!     fn before<'a>(&'a self, req: &'a mut ClientRequest)
25//!         -> impl std::future::Future<Output = ClientResult<()>> + Send + 'a
26//!     {
27//!         async move { let _ = req; Ok(()) }
28//!     }
29//!     fn after<'a>(&'a self, resp: &'a ClientResponse)
30//!         -> impl std::future::Future<Output = ClientResult<()>> + Send + 'a
31//!     {
32//!         async move { let _ = resp; Ok(()) }
33//!     }
34//! }
