//! Errors on the HTTP+JSON streaming path decode to the A2A error they carry.
//!
//! The unary REST path decoded AIP-193 bodies (§11.6) into typed errors; the
//! streaming path did not. `subscribe_to_task` on a missing task gave
//! `UnexpectedStatus { status: 404 }` where `get_task` gave `TaskNotFound`,
//! and an error sent *inside* a 200 stream — a2a-go writes
//! `{"error":{...AIP-193...}}` as a plain data frame, this repository's server
//! writes `event: error` with an `A2aError` — failed to parse as a
//! `StreamResponse` and surfaced as `Serialization("unknown variant ...")`.
