feat: implement A2A protocol for fleet-wizard delegation (#1122)

Implements Google Agent2Agent Protocol v1.0 with full fleet integration:

## Phase 1 - Agent Card & Discovery
- Agent Card types with JSON serialization (camelCase, Part discrimination by key)
- Card generation from YAML config (~/.hermes/agent_card.yaml)
- Fleet registry with LocalFileRegistry + GiteaRegistry backends
- Discovery by skill ID or tag

## Phase 2 - Task Delegation
- Async A2A client with JSON-RPC SendMessage/GetTask/ListTasks/CancelTask
- FastAPI server with pluggable task handlers (skill-routed)
- CLI tool (bin/a2a_delegate.py) for fleet delegation
- Broadcast to multiple agents in parallel

## Phase 3 - Security & Reliability
- Bearer token + API key auth (configurable per agent)
- Retry logic (max 3 retries, 30s timeout)
- Audit logging for all inter-agent requests
- Error handling per A2A spec (-32001 to -32009 codes)

## Test Coverage
- 37 tests covering types, card building, registry, server integration
- Auth (required + success), handler routing, error handling

Files:
- nexus/a2a/ (types.py, card.py, client.py, server.py, registry.py)
- bin/a2a_delegate.py (CLI)
- config/ (agent_card.example.yaml, fleet_agents.json)
- docs/A2A_PROTOCOL.md
- tests/test_a2a.py (37 tests, all passing)

+# A2A Protocol for Fleet-Wizard Delegation
+
+Implements Google's [Agent2Agent (A2A) Protocol v1.0](https://github.com/google/A2A) for the Timmy Foundation fleet.
+
+## What This Is
+
+Instead of passing notes through humans (Telegram, Gitea issues), fleet wizards can now discover each other's capabilities and delegate tasks autonomously through a machine-native protocol.
+
+```

+## Components
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `nexus/a2a/types.py` | A2A data types — Agent Card, Task, Message, Part, JSON-RPC |
+| `nexus/a2a/card.py` | Agent Card generation from `~/.hermes/agent_card.yaml` |
+| `nexus/a2a/client.py` | Async client for sending tasks to other agents |
+| `nexus/a2a/server.py` | FastAPI server for receiving A2A tasks |
+| `nexus/a2a/registry.py` | Fleet agent discovery (local file + Gitea backends) |
+| `bin/a2a_delegate.py` | CLI tool for fleet delegation |
+| `config/agent_card.example.yaml` | Example agent card config |
+| `config/fleet_agents.json` | Fleet registry with all wizards |
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Configure Your Agent Card
+
+```bash
+cp config/agent_card.example.yaml ~/.hermes/agent_card.yaml
+# Edit with your agent name, URL, skills, and auth
+```
+
+### 2. List Fleet Agents
+
+```bash
+python bin/a2a_delegate.py list
+```
+
+### 3. Discover Agents by Skill
+
+```bash
+python bin/a2a_delegate.py discover --skill ci-health
+python bin/a2a_delegate.py discover --tag devops
+```
+
+### 4. Send a Task
+
+```bash
+python bin/a2a_delegate.py send --to ezra --task "Check CI pipeline health"
+python bin/a2a_delegate.py send --to allegro --task "Analyze the codebase" --wait
+```

+
+```bash
+python bin/a2a_delegate.py card --agent ezra
+```
+
+## Programmatic Usage
+
+### Client (Sending Tasks)
+
+```python
+from nexus.a2a.client import A2AClient, A2AClientConfig
+from nexus.a2a.types import Message, Role, TextPart
+
+config = A2AClientConfig(auth_token="your-token", timeout=30.0, max_retries=3)

+
+### Server (Receiving Tasks)
+
+```python
+from nexus.a2a.server import A2AServer
+from nexus.a2a.types import AgentCard, Task, AgentSkill, TextPart, Artifact, TaskStatus, TaskState
+
+# Define your handler
+async def ci_handler(task: Task, card: AgentCard) -> Task:
+    # Do the work
+    result = "CI pipeline healthy: 5/5 passed"
+
+    task.artifacts.append(
+        Artifact(parts=[TextPart(text=result)], name="ci_report")
+    )
+    task.status = TaskStatus(state=TaskState.COMPLETED)
+    return task
+
+# Build agent card
+card = AgentCard(
+    name="Ezra",
+    description="CI/CD specialist",
+    skills=[AgentSkill(id="ci-health", name="CI Health", description="Check CI", tags=["ci"])],
+)
+
+# Start server
+server = A2AServer(card=card, auth_token="your-token")
+server.register_handler("ci-health", ci_handler)
+await server.start(host="0.0.0.0", port=8080)
+```
+
+### Registry (Agent Discovery)
+
+```python
+from nexus.a2a.registry import LocalFileRegistry
+
+registry = LocalFileRegistry()  # Reads config/fleet_agents.json
+
+# List all agents
+for agent in registry.list_agents():
+    print(f"{agent.name}: {agent.description}")
+
+# Find agents by capability
+ci_agents = registry.list_agents(skill="ci-health")
+devops_agents = registry.list_agents(tag="devops")
+
+# Get endpoint
+url = registry.get_endpoint("ezra")
+```
+
+## A2A Protocol Reference
+
+### Endpoints
+
+| Endpoint | Method | Purpose |
+|----------|--------|---------|
+| `/.well-known/agent-card.json` | GET | Agent Card discovery |
+| `/agent.json` | GET | Agent Card fallback |
+| `/a2a/v1` | POST | JSON-RPC endpoint |
+| `/a2a/v1/rpc` | POST | JSON-RPC alias |
+
+### JSON-RPC Methods
+
+| Method | Purpose |
+|--------|---------|
+| `SendMessage` | Send a task and get a Task object back |
+| `GetTask` | Get task status by ID |
+| `ListTasks` | List tasks (cursor pagination) |
+| `CancelTask` | Cancel a running task |
+| `GetAgentCard` | Get the agent's card via RPC |
+
+### Task States
+
+| State | Terminal? | Meaning |
+|-------|-----------|---------|
+| `TASK_STATE_SUBMITTED` | No | Task acknowledged |
+| `TASK_STATE_WORKING` | No | Actively processing |
+| `TASK_STATE_COMPLETED` | Yes | Success |
+| `TASK_STATE_FAILED` | Yes | Error |
+| `TASK_STATE_CANCELED` | Yes | Canceled |
+| `TASK_STATE_INPUT_REQUIRED` | No | Needs more input |
+| `TASK_STATE_REJECTED` | Yes | Agent declined |
+
+### Part Types (discriminated by JSON key)
+
+- `TextPart` — `{"text": "hello"}`
+- `FilePart` — `{"raw": "base64...", "mediaType": "image/png"}` or `{"url": "https://..."}`
+- `DataPart` — `{"data": {"key": "value"}}`
+
+## Authentication
+
+Agents declare auth in their Agent Card. Supported schemes:
+- **Bearer token**: `Authorization: Bearer <token>`
+- **API key**: `X-API-Key: <token>` (or custom header name)
+
+Configure in `~/.hermes/agent_card.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+auth:
+  scheme: "bearer"
+  token_env: "A2A_AUTH_TOKEN"  # env var containing the token
+```
+
+## Fleet Registry
+
+The fleet registry (`config/fleet_agents.json`) lists all wizards and their capabilities. Agents can be registered via:
+
+1. **Local file** — `LocalFileRegistry` reads/writes JSON directly
+2. **Gitea** — `GiteaRegistry` stores cards in a repo for distributed discovery
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/test_a2a.py -v
+```
+
+Covers:
+- Type serialization roundtrips
+- Agent Card building from YAML
+- Registry operations (register, list, filter)
+- Server integration (SendMessage, GetTask, ListTasks, CancelTask)
+- Authentication (required, success)
+- Custom handler routing
+- Error handling
+
+## Phase Status
+
+- [x] Phase 1 — Agent Card & Discovery
+- [x] Phase 2 — Task Delegation
+- [x] Phase 3 — Security & Reliability
