169/// The service parameter naming the A2A protocol version, spelled the way a
170/// non-HTTP binding carries it.
171///
172/// A2A §3.6.2 defines the parameter and §10.2 says each binding transmits it in
173/// whatever its own metadata mechanism is: an `A2A-Version` HTTP header for
174/// JSON-RPC and REST, a gRPC metadata entry, SLIMRPC session metadata. HTTP
175/// header names are case-insensitive and gRPC requires lowercase, so this is
176/// the lowercase spelling and [`validate_version_metadata`] matches keys
177/// without regard to case.
178pub const A2A_VERSION_METADATA_KEY: &str = "a2a-version";
179
180/// Validates the A2A version carried in a binding's request metadata.
181///
182/// The counterpart of this crate's private header validator, for bindings that
183/// carry service parameters in a string map rather than in HTTP headers, and
184/// the supported way for a binding **outside this crate** to enforce §3.6.2 —
185/// which the built-in bindings do through private helpers this makes public.
186/// Without it an out-of-tree binding can send a version but cannot check one,
187/// and would have to reimplement the comparison and hope it stays in step.
188///
189/// Key lookup is case-insensitive. Any `1.x` is accepted and patch segments
190/// are ignored, per §3.6. The map is generic over its hasher so a binding that
191/// keeps metadata in something other than the default `RandomState` — most
192/// transport crates do — can pass it without rebuilding the map.
193///
194/// `require` decides what an absent or empty value means, and the two answers
195/// are both defensible, which is why it is the caller's to make. §3.6.2 says a
196/// missing value MUST be read as protocol 0.3 — a version this server does not
197/// implement — so `true` rejects it, matching the reference Python SDK and this
198/// crate's own HTTP default. `false` accepts it, which is what the gRPC binding
199/// does for clients predating the parameter.
