//! Capability validation per A2A spec §3.3.4.
//!
//! When an [`AgentCard`](a2a_protocol_types::agent_card::AgentCard) is
//! configured on the handler, clients rely on its declared `capabilities` to
//! decide which operations are available. The spec therefore requires the
//! server to enforce those declarations:
//!
//! - **Streaming** (§3.3.4): if `capabilities.streaming` is not `true`,
//!   `SendStreamingMessage` and `SubscribeToTask` MUST return
//!   `UnsupportedOperationError`.
//! - **Push notifications** (§3.3.4): if `capabilities.pushNotifications` is not
//!   `true`, the push-config operations (Create/Get/List/Delete) MUST return
//!   `PushNotificationNotSupportedError`.
//!
//! When **no** agent card is configured the server has published no capability
//! contract, so these checks are skipped — a card-less handler keeps working as
//! before (the push-config path still guards on an actually-wired push sender).
