//! WebSocket transport implementation for A2A clients.
//!
//! [`WebSocketTransport`] opens a persistent WebSocket connection to the agent
//! and multiplexes JSON-RPC 2.0 requests over text frames.
//!
//! # Streaming
//!
//! For streaming methods (`SendStreamingMessage`, `SubscribeToTask`), the server
//! sends multiple text frames — one per event — followed by a final JSON-RPC
//! success response. The transport delivers these as an [`EventStream`].
//!
//! # Architecture
//!
//! FIX(C2): The transport uses a dedicated background reader task that routes
//! incoming frames to the correct pending request via a `HashMap<RequestId, Sender>`.
//! This eliminates the reader lock deadlock where a streaming background task
//! would hold the reader Mutex for the entire stream duration, preventing any
//! subsequent non-streaming request from proceeding.
//!
//! FIX(C3): Extra headers (including auth interceptor headers) are passed via
//! the initial HTTP upgrade request during WebSocket connection establishment,
//! as well as embedded in JSON-RPC request metadata where supported.
//!
//! # Feature gate
//!
//! Requires the `websocket` feature flag:
//!
//! ```toml
//! a2a-protocol-client = { version = "0.2", features = ["websocket"] }
//! ```
