//! A conformance harness for [`AgentExecutor`]
//! implementations.
//!
//! The TCK grades servers. Nothing graded the thing an adopter actually
//! writes. The paths they get wrong are the awkward ones — cancellation
//! arriving mid-work, a parked task reported as an error, an event emitted
//! after a terminal state — and those are exactly the cases people skip when
//! writing tests by hand.
//!
//! This drives an executor directly against a real event queue: no server, no
//! ports, no model. It grades **protocol** invariants, the ones that hold for
//! any agent whatever it does, and deliberately says nothing about whether
//! the agent is any good at its job.
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! #[tokio::test]
//! async fn my_executor_is_conformant() {
//!     let report = a2a_protocol_server::conformance::check(Arc::new(MyExecutor)).await;
//!     report.assert_pass();
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! # How it grades
//!
//! Three outcomes, and the middle one is the one that keeps the score
//! honest. A check that did not apply — because the executor never did the
//! thing it is about — is **not graded**, and a report that grades nothing
//! fails rather than passing vacuously. Both rules are the ones `tck/` already
//! follows, for the reason its own README gives: a run that measured nothing
//! once reported full marks.
//!
//! # What it cannot tell you
//!
//! It runs each check once, so it cannot find a race. It supplies its own
//! message, so an executor that only misbehaves on particular input will
//! pass — give it that input with [`check_with`]. It supplies its own
//! [`CallContext`], so an executor that reads the caller's tenant or identity
//! needs [`check_with_context`] to be graded against the one it will really
//! meet. It bounds each drive at 30 seconds and grades an executor that
//! overruns rather than waiting on it, so a very slow but correct executor is
//! reported as a failure. And it grades the executor, not the server: the TCK
//! is still what says your *deployment* conforms.
