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)
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:
