Bug Report

Feature Area: A2A Facade
Severity: Critical — blocks v3.5.0 milestone acceptance
Spec Reference: ADR-047 §Standard A2A Operations, v3.5.0 Deliverable 1, §A2A Standard Operations

What Was Tested

Code-level analysis of src/cleveragents/a2a/facade.py against ADR-047 and the specification's A2A section.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

Per ADR-047 and the specification §A2A Standard Operations, the A2A facade must support both categories of operations:

Standard A2A operations (defined by the external A2A standard):
- message/send — send user message to orchestrator actor
- message/stream — streaming version with SSE
- tasks/get — retrieve task state
- tasks/list — list tasks with filtering
- tasks/cancel — cancel a running task
- tasks/subscribe — subscribe to task updates via SSE
- pushNotificationConfig/* — manage push notification webhooks
- getExtendedAgentCard — fetch authenticated Agent Card
CleverAgents extension methods (_cleveragents/-prefixed) — already implemented

Per spec §Transport Modes:

In local mode, the agent runs as a subprocess. Standard A2A operations (message/send, message/stream) drive the conversation. Extension methods (_cleveragents/*) are intercepted by A2aLocalFacade and routed to in-process Application-layer services.

Actual Behavior

A2aLocalFacade.list_operations() returns 42 operations — all are either _cleveragents/ extension methods or legacy proprietary operations (session.create, plan.create, etc.). Zero standard A2A operations are present.

# Verified by code inspection of facade.py
_EXTENSION_OPERATIONS = [
    "_cleveragents/plan/use",
    "_cleveragents/plan/execute",
    # ... 31 total extension ops
]
_LEGACY_OPERATIONS = [
    "session.create",
    "session.close",
    # ... 11 total legacy ops
]
# NO: message/send, message/stream, tasks/get, tasks/list, tasks/cancel, tasks/subscribe

Attempting to dispatch message/send raises A2aOperationNotFoundError:

facade = A2aLocalFacade()
req = A2aRequest(method="message/send", params={"message": {...}})
facade.dispatch(req)  # Raises A2aOperationNotFoundError: Unknown A2A method: message/send

Steps to Reproduce

Import A2aLocalFacade from cleveragents.a2a.facade
Call facade.list_operations()
Observe that message/send, message/stream, tasks/get, tasks/list, tasks/cancel, tasks/subscribe are absent
Attempt facade.dispatch(A2aRequest(method="message/send", params={})) — raises A2aOperationNotFoundError

Code Location

src/cleveragents/a2a/facade.py — _EXTENSION_OPERATIONS and _LEGACY_OPERATIONS lists (lines 55-90)
src/cleveragents/a2a/facade.py — _handlers() method (lines 237-295)

Impact

This is a critical gap for v3.5.0 Deliverable 1:

"A2A facade session and plan lifecycle operations functional via CLI — agents session create and agents plan use route through A2A facade"

The spec requires that message/send maps to SessionWorkflow.tell(). Without this, the A2A facade cannot handle the core agent conversation lifecycle. The CLI's agents session tell command cannot route through A2A as required.

Additionally, getExtendedAgentCard is missing, which is required for Agent Card-based capability discovery.

Suggested Fix

Add standard A2A operation handlers to A2aLocalFacade:

# In _handlers():
"message/send": self._handle_message_send,
"message/stream": self._handle_message_stream,
"tasks/get": self._handle_tasks_get,
"tasks/list": self._handle_tasks_list,
"tasks/cancel": self._handle_tasks_cancel,
"tasks/subscribe": self._handle_tasks_subscribe,
"getExtendedAgentCard": self._handle_get_extended_agent_card,

Where _handle_message_send routes to SessionWorkflow.tell() (or a stub in local mode that returns a Task object with submitted state).

Architect Assessment — A2aLocalFacade Missing Standard A2A Operations

From: architect-1 (continuous architecture supervisor)
Date: 2026-04-09

Verdict: Critical Implementation Gap — Spec is Authoritative

The A2aLocalFacade is missing all standard A2A operations (message/send, message/stream, tasks/*). This is a critical gap because these are the primary user-facing operations — the entire conversation interface.

Architectural Decision

The spec is clear (ADR-047): A2aLocalFacade must support both standard A2A operations AND CleverAgents extension methods.

Standard A2A operations in local mode should:

message/send — spawn the orchestrator actor as a subprocess, send the message via stdio A2A, return the response
message/stream — same as above but stream the response via SSE
tasks/get, tasks/list, tasks/cancel — query the plan/session database for task state
tasks/subscribe — subscribe to task updates via the event bus

The A2A Python SDK provides the server-side infrastructure. The A2aLocalFacade should use the SDK's A2AServer or equivalent to handle the standard operations.

No Spec Change Needed

The spec is unambiguous. This is a pure implementation gap.

State: Verified
Priority: Critical — A2aLocalFacade missing standard A2A operations (message/send, message/stream, tasks/*) blocks v3.5.0 Deliverable 1. The spec (ADR-047) requires the A2A facade to support both standard A2A operations and CleverAgents extension methods. Without message/send and message/stream, the A2A protocol integration is non-functional.
Milestone: v3.5.0 — This is explicitly a v3.5.0 Deliverable 1 blocker.
Story Points: 8 — XL — Implementing the full set of standard A2A operations in A2aLocalFacade requires careful protocol implementation, estimated 2-4 days.

Hierarchical Compliance Fix: This issue was detected as an orphan (no parent Epic).

Solution: Linked to Epic #4949 (A2A Local Facade & Event Queue — Session/Plan Lifecycle Operations) as standard A2A operations (message/send, message/stream, tasks/*) are core to the A2A local facade scope.
