//! A JSON-RPC streaming method's pre-stream error is a plain JSON response.
//!
//! `SendStreamingMessage` and `SubscribeToTask` answer with
//! `text/event-stream` (§9.4.2) once their stream starts. When one fails
//! *before* that — invalid params, an unknown task, a terminal task — the
//! answer is a plain `application/json` JSON-RPC error response, HTTP 200.
//!
//! The shape is set by the official conformance kit, a2aproject/a2a-tck
//! (`tck/transport/jsonrpc_client.py`, `_call_streaming`): it reads any
//! `text/event-stream` answer as a successful stream and only inspects the
//! body for an error when the content type is not SSE. An earlier revision of
//! this branch sent the error as one SSE `event: error` frame instead, for
//! a2a-go v2.5.0's client, which reads a streaming answer only through its SSE
//! parser and so drops a plain JSON error. The official TCK then failed
//! STREAM-SUB-003 and STREAM-SUB-004 on JSON-RPC. The two readings cannot both
//! be satisfied by one response, and this repository treats the official
//! suite as authoritative where the two overlap; a2a-go's loss of the error is
//! its divergence, pinned by `scripts/go_sdk_interop.sh`.
//!
//! The reading below is deliberately the TCK's: content type first, then the
//! body as one JSON-RPC response.
