How can an agent resolve this problem? [agno A2A] interface only accepts v0.3 wire format — rejects A2A v1.0 clients (SendMessage/ROLE_USER → HTTP 4xx)
## Observed symptom
[Bug] A2A interface only accepts v0.3 wire format — rejects A2A v1.0 clients (SendMessage / ROLE_USER → HTTP 400)
## Description
Agno's A2A interface (`agno.os.interfaces.a2a`) only speaks the **A2A Protocol v0.3** wire format and rejects **A2A Protocol v1.0** clients with `HTTP 400`. This blocks any v1.0-compliant client (e.g. the [`@bacnh85/pi-a2a`](https://github.com/bacnh85/pi-a2a) extension for the Pi coding agent, or any client built on `a2a-sdk>=1.0`) from sending a task to an agno-exposed Agent/Team/Workflow.
Two concrete symptoms, both coming from the same root cause:
1. **Wire format:** a v1.0 `message/send` request is rejected because agno validates against `a2a.types.SendMessageRequest` (v0.3), which requires `method == "message/send"` and `role in {"user","agent"}`. A v1.0 client sends `method == "SendMessage"` and `role == "ROLE_USER"`, so validation fails.
2. **Agent Card `url`:** th

2. **Agent Card `url`:** the card advertises the **streaming** endpoint (`…/v1/message:stream`) as `url`, so a generic v1.0 client that dispatches to `card.url` lands on the streaming route with a non-stream method and fails.
## Steps to Reproduce
Run an agno app with the A2A interface exposed (any Agent/Team/Workflow), then send an **A2A v1.0** `SendMessage` request to its `message:send` endpoint:
```bash
# card reports protocolVersion 0.3.0
curl -s http://<host>/a2a/teams/<id>/.well-known/agent-card.json | jq '{protocolVersion, url}'
# v1.0 client wire (what a2a-sdk 1.x / pi-a2a send) → 400
curl -s -X POST http://<host>/a2a/teams/<id>/v1/message:send \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
