"""
A2A security primitives — shared by the inbound adapter and the client tools.

Threat model: A2A is a *network* surface. Inbound messages come from other
agents (possibly adversarial), and outbound messages may carry our agent's
private context to a peer we don't fully trust. Both directions are hardened
here so neither the adapter nor the tools have to re-implement it.

Layers (all opt-out-able only by explicit config, never silently):
  1. Bind safety       — no bearer token => 127.0.0.1 only (enforced in adapter)
  2. Bearer auth       — constant-time token comparison
  3. Injection filters — strip ChatML / role-prefix / override patterns from
                         inbound task text before it reaches the agent
  4. Outbound redaction — scrub credential-shaped strings from anything we send
  5. Audit log         — append-only JSONL of every inbound + outbound exchange
