Cause (Documented platform behavior): A 0.3 card can only advertise endpoints that actually speak 0.3; if none are declared, translation fails with VersionNotSupportedError.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Other error fragments:
- AgentCard must have at least one interface with a protocol version in [0.3, 1.0).
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Legacy (0.3) clients cannot fetch the card / the compat endpoint errors, although 1.0 clients work.
- Context
- Product: A2A Python SDK / A2A JS SDK Component: v0.3 compat agent-card translation Operation: serving /.well-known/agent.json (0.3) from a 1.0 card, or calling a 0.3 peer Affected versions: a2a-python main 0d5473c; a2a-js main 11cbb29 Environment: unknown Exception: VersionNotSupportedError Packages: a2a-sdk main 0d5473c, @a2a-js/sdk main 11cbb29 Trigger: All supportedInterfaces declare protocolVersion 1.0; the compat translator keeps only interfaces with empty or [0.3,1.0) version.

Proposed fix: [A2A SDKs v0.3 compat] VersionNotSupportedError 'AgentCard must have at least one interface with compatible protocol version' (Python) / '...with a protocol version in [0.3, 1.0)' (JS) w
Recommended action: Add a dedicated v0.3 entry to supportedInterfaces (JS: duplicateInterfacesForLegacy helper) or leave protocolVersion empty on interfaces that serve both.
Option: Declare a 0.3 interface [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: See trigger
Steps:
1. Add supportedInterfaces entry with protocolVersion "0.3" for the legacy endpoint
2. JS: use duplicateInterfacesForLegacy
Expected: Error no longer occurs
