6//! CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) configuration for A2A dispatchers.
7//!
8//! Browser-based A2A clients need CORS headers to interact with agents.
9//! [`CorsConfig`] provides configurable CORS support that can be applied to
10//! both [`RestDispatcher`](super::RestDispatcher) and
11//! [`JsonRpcDispatcher`](super::JsonRpcDispatcher).
