154/// The service parameter naming the A2A protocol version, spelled the way a
155/// non-HTTP binding carries it.
156///
157/// A2A §3.6.2 defines the parameter and §10.2 says each binding transmits it in
158/// whatever its own metadata mechanism is: an `A2A-Version` HTTP header for
159/// JSON-RPC and REST, a gRPC metadata entry, SLIMRPC session metadata. HTTP
160/// header names are case-insensitive and gRPC requires lowercase, so this is
161/// the lowercase spelling and [`validate_version_metadata`] matches keys
162/// without regard to case.
163pub const A2A_VERSION_METADATA_KEY: &str = "a2a-version";
164
165/// Validates the A2A version carried in a binding's request metadata.
166///
167/// The counterpart of this crate's private header validator, for bindings that
168/// carry service parameters in a string map rather than in HTTP headers, and
169/// the supported way for a binding **outside this crate** to enforce §3.6.2 —
170/// which the built-in bindings do through private helpers this makes public.
171/// Without it an out-of-tree binding can send a version but cannot check one,
172/// and would have to reimplement the comparison and hope it stays in step.
173///
174/// Key lookup is case-insensitive. Any `1.x` is accepted and patch segments
175/// are ignored, per §3.6. The map is generic over its hasher so a binding that
176/// keeps metadata in something other than the default `RandomState` — most
177/// transport crates do — can pass it without rebuilding the map.
178///
179/// `require` decides what an absent or empty value means, and the two answers
180/// are both defensible, which is why it is the caller's to make. §3.6.2 says a
181/// missing value MUST be read as protocol 0.3 — a version this server does not
182/// implement — so `true` rejects it, matching the reference Python SDK and this
183/// crate's own HTTP default. `false` accepts it, which is what the gRPC binding
184/// does for clients predating the parameter.
