//! Agent executor trait.
//!
//! [`AgentExecutor`] is the primary extension point for implementing A2A agent
//! logic. The server framework calls [`execute`](AgentExecutor::execute) for
//! every incoming `message/send` or `message/stream` request and
//! [`cancel`](AgentExecutor::cancel) for `tasks/cancel`.

/// Trait for implementing A2A agent execution logic.
///
/// Implementors process incoming messages by writing events (status updates,
/// artifacts) to the provided [`EventQueueWriter`]. The executor runs in a
/// spawned task and should signal completion by writing a terminal status
/// update and returning `Ok(())`.
///
/// # Object safety
///
/// This trait is object-safe: methods return `Pin<Box<dyn Future>>` so that
/// executors can be used as `Arc<dyn AgentExecutor>`. This eliminates the
/// need for generic parameters on [`RequestHandler`](crate::RequestHandler),
/// [`RestDispatcher`](crate::RestDispatcher), and
/// [`JsonRpcDispatcher`](crate::JsonRpcDispatcher), simplifying the entire
/// server API surface.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```rust,no_run
/// use std::pin::Pin;
/// use std::future::Future;
/// use a2a_protocol_server::executor::AgentExecutor;
/// use a2a_protocol_server::request_context::RequestContext;
/// use a2a_protocol_server::streaming::EventQueueWriter;
/// use a2a_protocol_types::error::A2aResult;
///
/// struct MyAgent;
///
/// impl AgentExecutor for MyAgent {
///     fn execute<'a>(
///         &'a self,
///         ctx: &'a RequestContext,
///         queue: &'a dyn EventQueueWriter,
///     ) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = A2aResult<()>> + Send + 'a>> {
///         Box::pin(async move {
///             // Write status updates and artifacts to `queue`.
///             Ok(())
///         })
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// # Ergonomic helpers
///
/// Use [`boxed_future`](crate::executor_helpers::boxed_future) to reduce
/// boilerplate, or the [`agent_executor!`](crate::agent_executor) macro
/// for a fully declarative approach:
///
/// ```rust
/// use a2a_protocol_server::agent_executor;
///
/// struct EchoAgent;
///
/// agent_executor!(EchoAgent, |_ctx, _queue| async {
///     Ok(())
/// });
/// ```

    /// after writing the final event, or `Err(...)` on failure.
