Subject: [PATCH 02/12] fix(a2a): close guardrail bypass for kind:data parts in
 A2A protocol

extract_text_from_a2a_message folds kind:data parts into the completion
text callers see, but A2AGuardrailHandler's input/output extraction only
scanned kind:text parts, letting structured data content reach callers
without ever being scanned or redacted by output/input guardrails.

Extend both process_input_messages and process_output_response (plus the
streaming path) to serialize and scan data parts the same way, using a
shared serialize_a2a_data_part helper so the completion-text builder and
the guardrail extractor can't diverge again. Guardrailed values are
written back into the correct field (text or data) per part.

Fixes the security finding flagged on this PR: A2A data parts bypass
output guardrails (litellm/llms/a2a/common_utils.py:89).

Subject: [PATCH 03/12] fix(a2a): recurse into nested parts for guardrail
 scanning

extract_text_from_a2a_message recurses into a part that itself carries
a nested 'parts' list, but _extract_texts_from_parts did not, so
text/data content inside nested parts could reach the completion text
without ever passing through a guardrail.

Mirror the recursion (including the same depth guard) so the two
extraction paths can't diverge on nested structures either. _apply_text_to_path
needed no changes since its path-navigation is already depth-agnostic.

Addresses the follow-up finding on this PR: nested data bypasses output
guardrails (litellm/llms/a2a/common_utils.py:100).

Subject: [PATCH 04/12] fix(a2a): rewrite guardrail text extraction
 functionally to satisfy LIT002 budget

_extract_texts_from_result/_extract_texts_from_parts now return tuples of
scanned entries instead of mutating shared out-parameter lists, matching
the repo's no-mutation convention and staying under the type-discipline
gate's mutable-collection-construction budget. Two GenericGuardrailAPIInputs
call sites convert the resulting tuple to a list at that external boundary
(marked mutable-ok, since the TypedDict itself is typed List[str]).

Also allowlists the now-legitimately-recursive _extract_texts_from_parts
in the CI's recursive-function detector, matching the pattern already used
for its sibling extract_text_from_a2a_message (bounded max_depth=10 guard).

Subject: [PATCH 05/12] fix(a2a): add ANN401 per-file ignore for
 common_utils.py

serialize_a2a_data_part's data param is an A2A data-kind part's
payload, which the protocol defines as arbitrary JSON-serializable
content with no fixed shape. object was not viable since json.dumps
requires the narrower JSON-value types.

Resolves the ruff-strict ANN401 budget breach from PR #28593's new
Any-typed parameter.

Subject: [PATCH 06/12] test(a2a): drop no-op sys.path.insert from new
 regression tests

pytest's rootdir handling and the installed package already make
litellm importable; these were copy-paste no-ops that also made the
guardrail_translation test's imports depend on the working directory
it happens to run from.

Resolves the TQ003 test-quality budget breach flagged in the lint job.

Subject: [PATCH 07/12] fix(a2a): drop invalid Final annotation on loop-local
 scanned var

basedpyright's reportGeneralTypeIssues rejects a Final-annotated
variable assigned inside a loop body, breaching the repo's per-rule
budget by 1. The binding is fresh each iteration, not mutated, so
dropping Final here is safe.

Subject: [PATCH 08/12] test(responses): replace no-op regression test with
 real assertions against _stream_usage_tracking_updates

Greptile flagged that the async test body was a bare pass and the only
running assertion checked Python's `in` operator on a hardcoded list,
never touching production code. Parametrized over route_type against
the actual function, verified red-before-green by disabling the gate.

Subject: [PATCH 10/12] fix(a2a): declare Final on local bindings, fold
 accumulator into chain.from_iterable

LIT010 flagged new unannotated local bindings (kind, text, part_data in two
nested scan functions) and the entries accumulator in
_extract_texts_from_result. Annotated the locals Final and replaced the
sequential-rebind accumulator with five case tuples combined via +, using
chain.from_iterable for the artifacts loop case to stay within LIT014's
one-for/one-if comprehension limit.

Subject: [PATCH 11/12] ci: assign test_regression_issue_28553.py to the
 responses-caching-types shard

Added by this branch but never registered in any shard's test-path list,
so assert_ci_coverage.py --shards (and the no-flag ownership check) both
flagged it as invoked by no job after the upstream rebase.

Subject: [PATCH 12/12] fix(a2a): type _scan's part parameter as _A2ATextPart,
 not dict[str, Any]

basedpyright's reportArgumentType flagged _scan (called with elements of
Sequence[_A2ATextPart]) still typed to accept dict[str, Any], a stricter
mismatch than the sibling _scan_input_part, which is called with real
dict[str, Any] parts and had no such mismatch. Matching the real element
type also clears 3 cascading reportUnknownArgumentType/
reportUnknownVariableType errors downstream of the call.
