6//! The webhook side of push delivery: which headers carry the notification
7//! token, how a receiver reads it, and how a webhook URL is named in logs.
8//!
9//! # Why two token headers
10//!
11//! The specification does not name the header. §4.3.3's request example
12//! shows only `Authorization` and `Content-Type`, and `a2a.proto` describes
13//! `TaskPushNotificationConfig.token` as "a token unique for this task or
14//! session" without saying how it travels. The two reference SDKs chose
15//! differently:
16//!
17//! - a2a-sdk (Python) 1.1.5, `server/tasks/base_push_notification_sender.py`:
18//!   `headers = {'X-A2A-Notification-Token': push_info.token}`
19//! - a2a-go v2.5.0, `a2asrv/push/sender.go`:
20//!   `var tokenHeader = http.CanonicalHeaderKey("A2A-Notification-Token")`
21//!
22//! A webhook written against one never sees the other's token, so
23//! [`HttpPushSender`](super::HttpPushSender) sends both — the same value
24//! twice, which costs one header line and cannot confuse a receiver that
25//! reads either — and [`notification_token`] accepts both.

34/// Reads the push notification token from a webhook request's headers,
35/// under either spelling.
36///
37/// Returns `None` when neither header is present, when a value is not
38/// visible ASCII, or when the request carries more than one distinct value
39/// across the two spellings. That last case fails closed: a sender writes
40/// one token, so two different ones mean something between the sender and
41/// the receiver added one, and picking either would let it choose which
42/// the receiver checks.
43///
44/// Compare the result against the token you registered with a
45/// constant-time comparison; it is a shared secret.
