## Title

    [A2A SDK clients talking to v0.3 agents] 'ListTasks is not supported in A2A v0.3 JSONRPC/REST/gRPC.' / 'v1.0 method "..." has no equivalent in v0.3 ...'

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): The 0.3 protocol has no such methods; compat transports raise instead of emulating them.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Other error fragments:
    - ListTasks is not supported in A2A v0.3 REST.
    - list_task_push_notification_configs not supported in v0.3 REST
    - has no equivalent in v0.3

    Search phrasings: ListTasks is not supported in A2A v0.3; A2A v1.0 method has no equivalent in v0.3; a2a client list tasks 0.3 agent
