//! Transport abstraction for A2A client requests.
//!
//! The [`Transport`] trait decouples protocol logic from HTTP mechanics.
//! [`A2aClient`] holds a `Box<dyn Transport>` and calls
//! [`Transport::send_request`] for non-streaming methods and
//! [`Transport::send_streaming_request`] for SSE-streaming methods.
//!
//! Four implementations ship with this crate (two behind feature flags):
//!
//! | Type | Protocol | When to use |
//! |---|---|---|
//! | [`JsonRpcTransport`] | JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP POST | Default; most widely supported |
//! | [`RestTransport`] | HTTP REST (verbs + paths) | When the agent card requires it |
//! | `GrpcTransport` | Canonical `lf.a2a.v1.A2AService` (protobuf) | `grpc` feature; service-mesh / cross-language gRPC peers |
//! | `WebSocketTransport` | JSON-RPC 2.0 over a persistent WebSocket | `websocket` feature; long-lived low-latency connections |
//!
//! [`A2aClient`]: crate::A2aClient
//! [`JsonRpcTransport`]: jsonrpc::JsonRpcTransport
//! [`RestTransport`]: rest::RestTransport

    // that test goes through `discovery.rs`, which uses `Limited` directly and
    // never calls this function at all). Telling the paths apart needs the
    // error *message*: the early rejection names the declared byte count, the
    // late one cannot know it.
