6//! Server-sent event types for A2A streaming.
7//!
8//! When a client calls `SendStreamingMessage` or `SubscribeToTask`, the server
9//! responds with a stream of Server-Sent Events. Each event carries a
10//! [`StreamResponse`] JSON payload discriminated by field presence (untagged).
11//!
12//! # Stream event variants
13//!
14//! | JSON field | Rust variant |
15//! |---|---|
16//! | `"task"` | [`crate::task::Task`] |
17//! | `"message"` | [`crate::message::Message`] |
18//! | `"statusUpdate"` | [`TaskStatusUpdateEvent`] |
19//! | `"artifactUpdate"` | [`TaskArtifactUpdateEvent`] |
