Python: A2AAgent rejects int timeouts (only float/httpx.Timeout accepted) #8515
Description
Motivation & Context
A2AAgent(url=..., timeout=30) raises TypeError: Invalid timeout type: <class 'int'>. the type guard only accepts float and httpx.Timeout, but an int timeout is the most natural way to write it and httpx itself accepts ints everywhere (PEP 484 numeric tower: int is acceptable where float is expected).
Reproduction
from agent_framework.a2a import A2AAgent
A2AAgent(url="http://localhost:9999", timeout=30)
# TypeError: Invalid timeout type: <class 'int'>timeout=30.0 works, timeout=30 does not.
Expected behavior
int timeouts coerce like floats.
env: python main

Hi! I would like to take this on. Plan: accept int timeouts in A2AAgent by normalizing to float/httpx.Timeout at the boundary, plus a regression test. Please let me know if that direction sounds right. Thanks!

appreciate it! there's already a PR open for this one (#8516), but it could use a proper review. come take a look and let's finish it together, the server-url tests are all yours if you want them
