//! gRPC transport implementation for the A2A client.
//!
//! [`GrpcTransport`] connects to a tonic-served A2A gRPC endpoint and
//! implements the [`Transport`] trait. JSON payloads are carried inside
//! protobuf `bytes` fields, reusing the same serde types as JSON-RPC
//! and REST.
//!
//! # Configuration
//!
//! Use [`GrpcTransportConfig`] to control timeouts and message sizes.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! # async fn example() -> Result<(), a2a_protocol_client::error::ClientError> {
//! use a2a_protocol_client::transport::grpc::GrpcTransport;
//! use a2a_protocol_client::ClientBuilder;
//!
//! let transport = GrpcTransport::connect("http://localhost:50051").await?;
//! let client = ClientBuilder::new("http://localhost:50051")
//!     .with_custom_transport(transport)
//!     .build()?;
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
