Fix #150: support STREAMABLE_HTTP/SSE in A2A agent card fetch (CLI crash)

[Diogo-Damasceno]

Summary

Fixes #150 — uvx rogue-ai cli crashed on launch against an A2A agent exposed over Streamable HTTP.

Root cause

get_a2a_agent_card (rogue/run_cli.py) only accepted Transport.HTTP and raised ValueError: Unsupported transport: Transport.STREAMABLE_HTTP for A2A protocol otherwise. run_cli calls ping_agent() at startup to fail fast (see #113), so any A2A agent served over the modern Streamable HTTP / SSE transports took down the entire CLI on launch.

Fix

The A2A AgentCard is always served over HTTP at /.well-known/agent.json regardless of the RPC transport used for agent calls, so HTTP, STREAMABLE_HTTP and SSE all expose the card the same way. The function now accepts those three and only rejects transports that genuinely cannot serve an A2A card (e.g. CHAT_COMPLETIONS).

Verification

• Added regression tests in rogue/tests/test_run_cli.py: HTTP/STREAMABLE_HTTP/SSE return a validated card; CHAT_COMPLETIONS still raises ValueError.
• Full file: 7 passed. ruff check + ruff format clean.

Possible follow-up (not in this PR)

ping_agent() failures currently abort CLI startup; making the startup ping non-fatal (warn instead of crash) would make the CLI more robust to transient agent unavailability. Happy to follow up if maintainers want it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation

  • Clarified AgentCard retrieval behavior, supported transports, and the well-known HTTP path.
  • Documented that unsupported transports are rejected, with no change to existing behavior.

• Tests

  • Added coverage for HTTP, streamable HTTP, and SSE AgentCard retrieval.
  • Added coverage confirming unsupported transports fail without making an HTTP request.
  • Improved confidence that supported transport options return the expected AgentCard.

Walkthrough

The CLI documents A2A AgentCard retrieval behavior. Tests verify parsing for HTTP, STREAMABLE_HTTP, and SSE transports. Tests also verify that CHAT_COMPLETIONS raises ValueError without an HTTP request.

Changes

A2A transport support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
AgentCard transport handling and validation rogue/run_cli.py, rogue/tests/test_run_cli.py	get_a2a_agent_card documents its retrieval path and transport handling. Tests cover supported transport parsing and unsupported transport rejection.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Poem

A rabbit checks the AgentCard path
HTTP transports pass the test
Streamable and SSE return
CHAT_COMPLETIONS cannot proceed
The request stays safely unmade

Explanation

The description clearly explains the root cause, intended fix, linked issue, regression tests, and verification results. It does not use every template heading or complete the checklist, but the core information is present.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The stated objective is to accept STREAMABLE_HTTP and SSE when fetching the A2A AgentCard. The production-file summary states that transport behavior remains unchanged and only documents existing behavior, so the required fix is not demonstrated.
