//! Defaults for the client's stream liveness bounds, and the reasons for
//! each value.

use std::time::Duration;

/// Default for [`ClientConfig::stream_idle_timeout`](crate::ClientConfig::stream_idle_timeout): 5 minutes.
///
/// The bound exists because a stream whose server stops sending — a hung
/// agent, a half-open connection behind a proxy — otherwise holds its
/// consumer forever. The value is chosen against what a healthy peer does:
///
/// * **This repository's server** writes an SSE `: keep-alive` comment after
///   30 seconds without an event (`DispatchConfig::sse_keep_alive_interval`),
///   so a healthy stream from it is never quiet for 5 minutes; the bound
///   sits ten heartbeats out, and a server whose interval was raised to a few
///   minutes still clears it.
/// * **a2a-go v2.5.0** sends keep-alives only when the server opts in
///   (`a2asrv.WithTransportKeepAlive`; "If interval is 0 or negative,
///   keep-alive is disabled (default behavior)"), so a Go agent is silent
///   between events. Its own client gives a whole request, stream included,
///   3 minutes by default (`a2aclient/transport.go`:
///   `defaultRequestTimeout = 3 * time.Minute`), so a Go agent that is
///   silent for longer than this is already outside what its own SDK's
///   defaults tolerate.
/// * Common reverse proxies and load balancers close a connection that is
///   silent for about 60 seconds (nginx `proxy_read_timeout`, AWS ALB
///   `idle_timeout`), so a stream that survives 5 silent minutes is one that
///   crossed no such hop.
///
/// Expiry is recoverable — the task keeps running and
/// [`A2aClient::subscribe_to_task`](crate::A2aClient::subscribe_to_task)
/// picks it up — so the cost of a too-short bound is one resubscribe, while
/// the cost of no bound is a consumer that never returns.

///
/// The same value as [`DEFAULT_STREAM_IDLE_TIMEOUT`], for the same reasons:
/// silence before the first event is no different, as evidence of a dead
/// peer, from silence between events, and the peers that matter produce
/// both. The specification asks a server to open a stream with its `Task`
/// or `Message`, and this repository's server does so at once; but a2a-go
/// v2.5.0 writes nothing until the agent emits its first event, so an agent
/// that makes a slow model call first is silent for as long as the call
/// takes. The 30 seconds this bound inherited from `stream_connect_timeout`
/// cut such an agent off. Callers that know their agent answers at once can
/// tighten it to fail fast.
