Description

A2A released a new breaking version a2aproject/a2a-python#335. This is failing our tests with

FAILED tests/strands/multiagent/a2a/test_server.py::test_public_agent_card - AttributeError: 'AgentCard' object has no attribute 'defaultInputModes'

While in beta, a minor version bump constitutes a breaking change. So to avoid consuming these unwanted breaking changes we have to pin to a minor version.

The downside of this is that a consumer may encounter issues if they want to have a newer version of a2a but cannot also use Strands. This is a tradeoff we need to weigh.

As part of this change, I also bumped us to the latest minor version as well.
