6//! Agent card and capability discovery types.
7//!
8//! The [`AgentCard`] is the root discovery document served by an A2A agent at
9//! `/.well-known/agent.json`. It describes the agent's identity,
10//! capabilities, skills, security requirements, and supported interfaces.
11//!
12//! # v1.0 changes
13//!
14//! - `url` and `preferred_transport` replaced by `supported_interfaces`
15//! - `protocol_version` moved from `AgentCard` to `AgentInterface`
16//! - `AgentInterface.transport` renamed to `protocol_binding`
17//! - `supports_authenticated_extended_card` moved to `AgentCapabilities.extended_agent_card`
18//! - Security fields renamed to `security_requirements`
