Summary

Fixes #1502SseEventFormatter.format() was producing a custom JSON payload instead of the required JSON-RPC 2.0 notification format, breaking interoperability with A2A-compliant clients.

Changes Made

src/cleveragents/a2a/events.py

  • Added _EVENT_TYPE_TO_METHOD: ClassVar[dict[str, str]] mapping to convert A2A event types to JSON-RPC 2.0 method names:
    • TaskStatusUpdateEventtask/statusUpdate
    • TaskArtifactUpdateEventtask/artifactUpdate
  • Refactored SseEventFormatter.format() to produce JSON-RPC 2.0 notification envelope:
    {
      "jsonrpc": "2.0",
      "method": "task/statusUpdate",
      "params": {
        "taskId": "plan-001",
        ...event data fields...
      }
    }
    
  • Event data fields are now nested inside params object
  • taskId is included in params when plan_id is present (per spec §Streaming Architecture)
  • Non-spec fields (event_id, event_type, timestamp, plan_id) removed from data payload; they remain in SSE envelope headers (event: and id: lines)
  • Added ClassVar import to fix RUF012 linting violation on mutable class attribute

features/a2a_sse_streaming.feature

  • Updated feature description to reflect JSON-RPC 2.0 compliance requirement
  • Updated existing scenario to verify JSON-RPC 2.0 structure instead of custom format
  • Added new scenarios:
    • JSON-RPC 2.0 compliance for TaskStatusUpdateEvent
    • JSON-RPC 2.0 compliance for TaskArtifactUpdateEvent
    • Event data included in params object
    • Events without plan_id (taskId not included)
    • Non-spec fields excluded from data payload

features/steps/a2a_sse_streaming_steps.py

  • Replaced try/except ImportError pattern with direct imports (fixes 11 pre-existing pyright errors)
  • Used behave.runner.Context type for proper static typing
  • Added step definitions for:
    • Creating events with custom data
    • Creating events without plan_id
    • Verifying params object structure
    • Checking numeric values in params
    • Verifying key absence in params and top-level JSON

Compliance

JSON-RPC 2.0 notification format per spec §Streaming Architecture:

  • jsonrpc field set to "2.0"
  • method field contains the operation name (e.g., task/statusUpdate)
  • params object contains all event data and taskId metadata

Static typing: 0 pyright errors (also fixed 11 pre-existing errors in step file)

Linting: 0 ruff violations

SSE envelope unchanged: event: and id: headers remain correct; only data: payload format updated

Before / After

Before (non-compliant):

{
  "event_id": "01...",
  "event_type": "TaskStatusUpdateEvent",
  "plan_id": "plan-001",
  "data": {"status": "working"},
  "timestamp": "2026-04-02T..."
}

After (JSON-RPC 2.0 compliant per spec):

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "task/statusUpdate",
  "params": {
    "status": "working",
    "taskId": "plan-001"
  }
}

- Add _EVENT_TYPE_TO_METHOD class-level mapping (ClassVar[dict[str, str]]) to
  convert A2A event types to JSON-RPC 2.0 method names:
  TaskStatusUpdateEvent → task/statusUpdate
  TaskArtifactUpdateEvent → task/artifactUpdate
- Refactor SseEventFormatter.format() to produce JSON-RPC 2.0 notification
  envelope: {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "...", "params": {...}}
- Move event data fields into params object; include taskId (from plan_id)
  in params when plan_id is present, per spec §Streaming Architecture
- Remove non-spec fields (event_id, event_type, timestamp, plan_id) from
  the data payload; these remain in SSE envelope headers (event: and id:)
- Update BDD feature to verify JSON-RPC 2.0 structure for both event types,
  events with/without plan_id, custom data in params, and exclusion of
  non-spec fields
- Fix pre-existing type errors in step definitions: replace try/except
  ImportError pattern with direct imports and use behave.runner.Context
  for proper static typing (0 pyright errors)

Summary

This PR correctly reformats SseEventFormatter.format() to produce JSON-RPC 2.0 notification envelopes as required by the A2A protocol specification (§Streaming Architecture). The change fixes a spec compliance bug where SSE event data payloads used a custom format instead of the standard {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"...","params":{...}} structure.

Review Findings

Specification Alignment

  • The JSON-RPC 2.0 notification format matches the spec exactly: jsonrpc, method, and params fields
  • Event type → method mapping is correct: TaskStatusUpdateEventtask/statusUpdate, TaskArtifactUpdateEventtask/artifactUpdate
  • taskId is correctly included in params only when plan_id is present
  • Non-spec fields (event_id, event_type, timestamp, plan_id) are correctly excluded from the data payload and remain in SSE envelope headers

Code Quality

  • _EVENT_TYPE_TO_METHOD correctly uses ClassVar[dict[str, str]] (fixes RUF012)
  • dict(event.data) creates a defensive copy — no mutation of the original event
  • Fallback f"task/{event.event_type}" for unknown event types is sensible defensive coding
  • Step definitions properly typed with behave.runner.Context instead of Any (fixes 11 pre-existing pyright errors)
  • Removal of try/except ImportError dead code path is a good cleanup

Test Quality

  • 5 new BDD scenarios covering: both event types, data passthrough, no-plan_id edge case, non-spec field exclusion
  • Tests verify both positive (fields present with correct values) and negative (non-spec fields absent) cases
  • Numeric value verification in params is a nice touch

Correctness

  • No logic errors detected
  • if event.plan_id: correctly handles both None and empty string
  • JSON serialization with default=str preserved for non-serializable types
  • SSE envelope structure (event:, id:, data: lines + double newline) unchanged

Security

  • No secrets, no injection vectors, input validation via Pydantic model validators

CI Status

All CI failures (lint, typecheck, security, unit_tests) are pre-existing on master — not introduced by this PR. The PR branch failures are identical to the master branch failures.

Verdict

Clean, well-tested fix that brings SSE event formatting into compliance with the A2A protocol specification. Single atomic commit with proper Conventional Changelog format. Approved for merge.

Summary:

Refactored SseEventFormatter.format() to produce JSON-RPC 2.0 notification envelope. Clean implementation with ClassVar mapping.

  • _EVENT_TYPE_TO_METHOD ClassVar mapping — clean, extensible
  • Fallback task/{event_type} for unknown event types
  • taskId in params only when plan_id present — correct per spec
  • Non-spec fields excluded from data payload
  • dict(event.data) creates copy, avoiding mutation
  • Consistent with PR #1990's JSON-RPC 2.0 adoption
