6//! Async SSE event stream with typed deserialization.
7//!
8//! [`EventStream`] provides an async `next()` iterator over
9//! [`a2a_protocol_types::StreamResponse`] events received via Server-Sent Events.
10//!
11//! The stream terminates when:
12//! - The underlying HTTP body closes (normal end-of-stream).
13//! - A [`a2a_protocol_types::TaskStatusUpdateEvent`] with `final: true` is received.
14//! - A protocol or transport error occurs (returned as `Some(Err(...))`).
15//!
16//! # Example
17//!
18//! ```rust,ignore
19//! let mut stream = client.stream_message(params).await?;
20//! while let Some(event) = stream.next().await {
21//!     match event? {
22//!         StreamResponse::StatusUpdate(ev) => {
23//!             println!("State: {:?}", ev.state);
24//!             if ev.r#final { break; }
25//!         }
26//!         StreamResponse::ArtifactUpdate(ev) => {
27//!             println!("Artifact: {:?}", ev.artifact);
28//!         }
29//!         _ => {}
30//!     }
31//! }
32//! ```
