Metadata

  • Branch: fix/a2a-error-detail-data-field
  • Commit Message: fix(a2a): rename A2aErrorDetail.details to data for JSON-RPC 2.0 compliance
  • Milestone: v3.8.0
  • Parent Epic: #933

Description

The A2aErrorDetail model in src/cleveragents/a2a/models.py uses a field named details for the optional error payload, but the JSON-RPC 2.0 specification and the project's own docs/reference/a2a.md both require this field to be named data.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

Per docs/reference/a2a.md (§Error Code Taxonomy), the error object wire format is:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 42,
  "error": {
    "code": -32001,
    "message": "Plan not found",
    "data": { "plan_id": "01HXRCF1..." }
  }
}

The JSON-RPC 2.0 specification (Section 5.1) defines the error object as having code, message, and optionally data fields.

Actual Behavior

class A2aErrorDetail(BaseModel):
    code: str
    message: str
    details: dict[str, Any] = {}  # BUG: should be 'data'

When serialized, the error object produces {"code": ..., "message": ..., "details": {...}} instead of the required {"code": ..., "message": ..., "data": {...}}. This means any external A2A-compliant client parsing the error response will not find the data field.

Code location: src/cleveragents/a2a/models.py, line 71

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Inspect src/cleveragents/a2a/models.py
  2. Find A2aErrorDetail class
  3. Observe field named details instead of data
  4. Create an A2aErrorDetail with details and serialize:
    A2aErrorDetail(code="NOT_FOUND", message="gone", details={"id": "x"}).model_dump()
    # → {"code": "NOT_FOUND", "message": "gone", "details": {"id": "x"}}
    # Expected: {"code": "NOT_FOUND", "message": "gone", "data": {"id": "x"}}
    

Subtasks

  • Rename A2aErrorDetail.detailsdata in src/cleveragents/a2a/models.py
  • Update all call sites that reference A2aErrorDetail.details
  • Update tests that reference the details field
  • Run nox -e typecheck and resolve any Pyright errors
  • Run nox -e unit_tests and confirm all Behave scenarios pass
  • Run nox -e coverage_report and confirm coverage remains ≥ 97%

Definition of Done

This issue is complete when:

  • A2aErrorDetail serializes to {\"code\": ..., \"message\": ..., \"data\": {...}} on the wire
  • No references to A2aErrorDetail.details remain in production code
  • All tests pass
  • A Git commit is created where the first line of the commit message matches the Commit Message in Metadata exactly, followed by a blank line, then additional lines providing relevant details about the implementation.
  • The commit is pushed to the remote on the branch matching the Branch in Metadata exactly.
  • The commit is submitted as a pull request to master, reviewed, and merged before this issue is marked done.
  • All nox stages pass
  • Coverage >= 97%

Issue triaged by project owner:

  • State: Verified
  • Priority: High — The data field name is mandated by JSON-RPC 2.0 §5.1. Using details instead breaks wire format compliance.
  • Milestone: v3.8.0 (M9: Server Implementation)
  • MoSCoW: Must Have — JSON-RPC 2.0 error object schema is non-negotiable for protocol compliance. The spec and the class's own docstring both say data, confirming this is a straightforward naming bug.
  • Parent Epic: #933 (A2A Protocol Compliance)

Note: This is closely related to #2746 (same A2aErrorDetail model, code field type). Consider addressing both in a single PR.

Starting implementation on branch fix/a2a-error-detail-data-field.

Analysis complete:

  • Bug confirmed: A2aErrorDetail.details field in src/cleveragents/a2a/models.py must be renamed to data per JSON-RPC 2.0 §5.1
  • The details= references in transport.py and events.py are constructor parameters to A2aNotAvailableError (a different class), not A2aErrorDetail — those are unaffected
  • No existing tests reference A2aErrorDetail.details directly; the wire format feature file tests serialization but doesn't check for the details key specifically
  • Will add a TDD scenario to verify A2aErrorDetail serializes with data field (not details)

Difficulty assessment: Low → starting at sonnet tier.
