A2A

Agent card: https://upload.83blue.com/.well-known/agent-card.json (JSON-RPC endpoint at /a2a, protocol 0.3.0). Works as the hosting layer for any A2A FileWithUri part.

The handoff pattern

Agent A uploads everything the next agent needs (HANDOFF.md briefing at the zip root), then passes one url. Agent B fetches it and picks up the whole context:

Pick up where I left off. Fetch this url for the full briefing and files:
https://upload.83blue.com/h/TOKEN/KEY
