Stéphane Tailland 60d25edb52 fix: a unique message id, and a peer conversation that survives
Two bugs in the peer call, both found in review.

message_id was context_id + peer name, so every call in a conversation carried
the same id. A2A wants one id per message; a peer treating the second call as a
replay of the first would have looked like a stale answer rather than a bug.

The peer's context_id was derived from hash(subject_token), which was wrong
twice over. hash() on a str is salted per process, so a restart changed the key
— the reported bug. And a fresh token is minted every turn, so the key changed
every turn anyway, which is worse: the peer started a new thread on each call
and lost anything it had parked, the opposite of what the key exists for. It is
now the conversation id, which is what "one conversation per peer" meant.

Not changed: output_type as a list, also raised in review. OutputSpec is
declared as an item OR a Sequence of them, so a list is the API's own form and
not a union written badly.

"""Calling another agent, as a tool the model can reach for.
The rule this agent lives by: **an A2A call returns an answer, not data.** It
asks Approvisionnement "can S10_1949 be promised?" and receives a decision. It
never gains read access to whatever that agent can see, and it must not — the
whole per-domain scoping rests on a specialist answering rather than handing
over its records.
So this is deliberately one narrow tool, not a generic `call_agent(name, text)`.
A generic one would let the model reach any peer with any prompt, which is how
an agent becomes a proxy onto its neighbours.
The peer's token is minted per call, for that peer alone, from the end user's
own token. A token for Approvisionnement is refused by every other agent, so a
prompt injection that talks this agent into consulting the wrong peer fails at
the realm.
