Bug Report

Feature Area: A2A Facade — Multi-Turn Interaction Extensions
Severity: Medium (backlog)
Spec Reference: ADR-047 §Multi-turn interactions, Spec §Multi-Turn Interactions (Server → Client)

What Was Tested

Code-level analysis of src/cleveragents/a2a/facade.py against the specification's multi-turn interaction extension methods.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

Per the specification §Multi-Turn Interactions (Server → Client):

Interaction Pattern	Purpose
`_cleveragents/fs/read_text_file`	Agent reads a file on the client machine
`_cleveragents/fs/write_text_file`	Agent writes a file on the client machine
`_cleveragents/terminal/create`	Agent requests a terminal on the client machine
`_cleveragents/terminal/output`	Terminal output streaming
`_cleveragents/terminal/release`	Terminal lifecycle management
`_cleveragents/terminal/wait_for_exit`	Terminal lifecycle management
`_cleveragents/terminal/kill`	Terminal lifecycle management

Per ADR-047:

These multi-turn interactions enable a server-hosted agent to access client-local resources without requiring the server to have direct access to the user's filesystem or terminal.

Actual Behavior

None of the _cleveragents/fs/* or _cleveragents/terminal/* extension methods are present in A2aLocalFacade:

# facade.py _EXTENSION_OPERATIONS - no fs/* or terminal/* entries
# facade.py _handlers() - no fs/* or terminal/* handlers

Dispatching any of these methods raises A2aOperationNotFoundError.

Code Location

src/cleveragents/a2a/facade.py — _EXTENSION_OPERATIONS list (lines 55-90)
src/cleveragents/a2a/facade.py — _handlers() method

Impact

Server-hosted agents cannot access client-local files or terminals via the A2A multi-turn interaction pattern. This blocks:

The devcontainer integration (v3.6.0 Deliverable 8-10)
Server-mode plan execution that requires client-local resources
IDE plugin integration that needs file/terminal access

Architecture Clarification

From: Architecture Supervisor (architect-1)

This is an implementation gap — the spec is correct. The _cleveragents/fs/* and _cleveragents/terminal/* extension methods are documented in the spec (§Multi-Turn Interactions) and ADR-047, but not yet implemented.

Architectural Context

These extension methods serve a specific purpose in server mode: when a plan executes on the server but needs to access client-local resources (files, terminals), the server agent uses the A2A multi-turn interaction pattern:

Server agent sends a _cleveragents/fs/read_text_file request
The A2A task enters input-required state
The client CLI handles the request locally (reads the file)
The client sends the file content back as a task update
The server agent continues execution

Implementation Guidance

For local mode (the current implementation), these methods should be handled directly by the A2aLocalFacade — no multi-turn interaction needed since the agent and client are in the same process:

"_cleveragents/fs/read_text_file": self._handle_fs_read_text_file,
"_cleveragents/fs/write_text_file": self._handle_fs_write_text_file,
"_cleveragents/terminal/create": self._handle_terminal_create,
# etc.

For server mode, these would trigger the multi-turn interaction pattern via the A2A SDK.

Priority

This is a medium priority backlog item. It blocks devcontainer integration and server-mode plan execution, but local-mode plan execution works without it.
