+"""Shared test compat layer for a2a-sdk 1.0 proto types.
+
+The test suite was written against the 0.3 Pydantic types
+(``DataPart(data=...)``, ``TextPart(text=...)``, ``Part(root=...)``,
+string ``state="completed"`` enums). The 1.0 SDK replaces these with
+protobuf messages carrying a ``content`` oneof on ``Part`` and
+``TASK_STATE_*`` int enums. Rather than scrub every test call site
+this module exposes Pydantic-era names as factory shims that build the
+1.0 proto shapes under the hood; tests ``from tests.a2a_compat_shim
+import ...`` and keep their prior constructor forms.
+
+**Side-effect warning.** Importing this module mutates ``a2a.types``
+at process scope — ``pb.Role.user``, ``pb.TaskState.completed``, etc.
+are assigned, and ``pb.TaskStatus.__init__`` is wrapped to accept the
+0.3 string enum form. This is **only safe in test processes**; a
+production program that imports it would silently accept 0.3 string
+``state="completed"`` kwargs in outbound proto construction.
+
+Import is gated on ``sys.modules["pytest"]`` below so the patches only
+land when the interpreter was launched by pytest. Any future edit that
+adds side effects here MUST preserve that gate and MUST NOT introduce

+"""End-to-end wire-compat test: 0.3-shape JSON-RPC still works.
+
+Spins up our 1.0-based :func:`~adcp.server.a2a_server.create_a2a_server`
+app, hits it with a hand-crafted 0.3 ``message/send`` request via raw
+httpx (no a2a-sdk on the client side), and asserts the response lands
+in the 0.3 wire shape:
+
+- ``result.status.state == "completed"`` (lowercase spec form)
+- ``result.kind == "task"`` (string discriminator)
+
+This guards against future regressions if ``enable_v0_3_compat=True``
+is accidentally dropped from :func:`create_a2a_server` — a follow-up
+would get ``TASK_STATE_COMPLETED`` back and break every existing
+buyer-side 0.3 client.
+
+Pattern cribbed from ``.context/poc/poc.py``.
