+"""A2A server for inbound agent calls.
+
+Bundled alongside :class:`molecule_agent.client.RemoteAgentClient` to
+enable remote agents to receive A2A calls from the platform without
+requiring the agent author to provision their own HTTP endpoint.
+
+Phase 30.8b contract — the server exposes ``POST /a2a/inbound`` which
+the platform's ingress proxy calls when it needs to push work to a
+registered remote agent.
+
+Usage::
+
+    from molecule_agent import RemoteAgentClient, A2AServer
+
+    client = RemoteAgentClient(workspace_id="...", platform_url="...")
+    server = A2AServer(
+        agent_id=client.workspace_id,
+        inbound_url="https://my-agent.example.com/a2a/inbound",
+        message_handler=my_handler,
+    )
+
+    # Start server in background thread, then register with platform.
+    server.start_in_background()
+    client.reported_url = server.inbound_url  # platform reaches this URL
+    token = client.register()
+
+    # Heartbeat loop now reports a real URL instead of "remote://no-inbound".
+    client.run_heartbeat_loop()
+
+    # Shutdown the server when the agent exits.
+    server.stop()
+
+The ``message_handler`` signature is::
+
+    async def my_handler(request: dict) -> dict:
+        '''Return an A2A-formatted response dict.'''
+        ...
+
+Handlers are invoked on the server's internal thread pool.

-Covers GAP-01 from TEST_GAP_ANALYSIS.md — CWE-22 / CVE-2007-4559 "tar slip"
-family: directory traversal, absolute paths, zip bombs, symlink escapes.
+The function guards against escape via ``target.relative_to(dest_abs)``. This
+rejects:
+  • Entries whose resolved path is outside ``dest`` (absolute paths, paths that
+    start above ``dest``, paths with more leading ``..`` components than the
+    depth of ``dest``).
+  • Symlinks and hardlinks entirely (silently skipped, no file written).
 
-These are unit tests with no external dependencies.
+Paths that contain ``..`` but still resolve inside ``dest`` are ACCEPTED.
+For example ``foo/../bar.txt`` resolves to ``dest/bar.txt`` which is inside
+``dest``, so it is accepted.
+
+Covers:
+  1. **Paths that start above dest** — ``../``, ``../../`` at name start.
+  2. **Absolute paths** — entries with a leading ``/``.
+  3. **Depth-exceeding traversal** — ``a/../../../file`` exits dest.
+  4. **Symlink / hardlink skip** — no exception, no file written.
+  5. **Valid paths accepted** — relative paths with or without embedded ``..``
+     that still resolve inside ``dest``.

-plugin integrity. The install-time integration (plugin declared sha256 →
-calls verify_plugin_sha256 → aborts on mismatch) is already covered in
-test_remote_agent.py. These tests fill the remaining gaps:
-  - _sha256_file edge cases (empty file, large file streaming)
-  - _is_hex validation (called inside verify_plugin_sha256)
-  - compute_plugin_sha256 (CLI hash-generation command)
-  - verify_plugin_sha256 with empty plugin directory
-  - SHA256 manifest format stability
+These tests exercise the full round-trip: the SDK calls
+``POST /v1/plugins/verify-sha256`` with the plugin directory's content
+manifest, and the server responds.  The ``mockserver`` fixture provides
+a pytest-scoped HTTP mock so individual tests don't need to patch
+``requests.Session`` manually.
+
+Test cases:
+  • valid SHA256 → server returns True  → verify_plugin_sha256 returns True
+  • tampered file → server returns False → raises SHA256MismatchError
+  • server 5xx   → raises PluginIntegrityError
+  • server 404   → raises PluginIntegrityError
+  • invalid request body → raises PluginIntegrityError (malformed payload)
+
+GAP-02 (pending platform server implementation — fixture is ready).
