//! Accepting the empty success bodies peers send for an Empty-result method.
//!
//! `DeleteTaskPushNotificationConfig` returns `google.protobuf.Empty`. The
//! spec shape for that is `"result": {}` (JSON-RPC) or `{}` (HTTP+JSON),
//! and a `null` result is already read as success. a2a-go v2.5.0 sends
//! neither:
//!
//! - JSON-RPC: `{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":…}` with no `result`, because
//!   `a2asrv/jsonrpc.go` leaves `result` nil for the method and
//!   `jsonrpc.ServerResponse` declares `Result any` with the struct tag `json:"result,omitempty"`;
//! - HTTP+JSON: a `200` with an empty body, because
//!   `handleDeleteTaskPushConfig` in `a2asrv/rest.go` writes nothing on
//!   success.
//!
//! Both are read as success here, and only for a method whose result is
//! Empty ([`Method::returns_empty`]): a data method with no result is still
//! an error, because there is nothing to return to its caller. What is sent
//! is unchanged — lenient in what is accepted, strict in what is emitted.
