retoor cc1c130b51 CAP protocol both directions: agent speak plus orchestrator drivers (1.39.0)
- Agent side: --cap-manifest plus --cap-speak stream-json binding with
  transcript-diff frames, diff/transcript artifacts, session config
- Orchestrator: PTY driver (settle heuristics on PtyProc/TuiVtScreen),
  stream-json, ACP-stdio (permission/elicit/fs/terminal serving) and
  A2A drivers (dual draft/current spelling, SSE mapping)
- Sessions, fleets: worktrees, master plans, mediated routing,
  budget refusal, audit log, research auto-answerer, --cap CLI
- cap.md contract with drift tests; research/cap-protocol archive
- Suites 1119 + 16 green

Why it's here

Grepped to settle which A2A spelling the reference driver actually uses: POST {endpoint}/message/send with {message: {role, parts: [{kind: text, text}]}} and POST {endpoint}/tasks/cancel with no body (draft-style), card at /.well-known/agent-card.json refused without the cap-protocol/v1 extension. The event mapper accepts raw cap.* JSON, data parts unwrapped via _meta.cap.kind (from message, task-status and artifact parts alike), text parts (kind or type text, id from messageId/message_id), and failed task states; outbound answers travel as data parts with the _meta.cap.kind marker. Control flow around the mapper was not reviewed.
