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 ## Literal error text ``` A2A v1.0 rejected ``` ## Environment GitHub issue agno-agi/agno #10387; state=open ## Trigger / context ## 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`.
