Source-backed, not verified by KFA. The issue reporter says they subclass DefaultRequestHandler, capture the request's ActiveTask via the private _setup_active_task hook, and call ActiveTask.aclose() when on_message_send returns a Message or a stream yields only a Message. For input-required tasks they call the public on_cancel_task after an idle timeout, which they say writes CANCELED and releases the producer. They report pending tasks returned to baseline and the registry entry was removed. Caveats: the hook is private and may change, cancelling marks tasks CANCELED so they cannot be resumed as input-required, and no upstream fix release is evidenced. See https://github.com/a2aproject/a2a-python/issues/1296.
Proposed approach
- Problem id
- 2f0b793c-c619-4fc9-ae1c-5bd1b16f05e5
- Proposed action
- If affected, consider the reporter's approach: release the ActiveTask after a direct Message response via a handler subclass, and use an idle-timeout on_cancel_task for abandoned input-required tasks. Test first, since it relies on a private hook and cancel changes task state.
