This is the extracted real titled fix from closed PR #1933 (which was closed for scope-creep).
toolDelegateTaskAsync's detached goroutine logged ajson.Marshalfailure for the A2A body but then fell through and calledproxyA2ARequestwith a nil/empty body, dispatching a malformed A2A request. This adds the missingreturnso the goroutine bails out on marshal failure.A small
marshalA2ABodypackage var seam lets a focused unit test (TestMCPHandler_DelegateTaskAsync_MarshalFailureDoesNotCallProxy) exercise the otherwise near-impossible marshal-failure path. The test fails without thereturnand passes with it.go build ./...andgo test ./internal/handlers/...pass locally.Do not merge — awaiting review.

Five-Axis review (routine, extracted from #1933):- Correctness: adds the missing early return in the detached goroutine after json.Marshal failure, so proxyA2ARequest is no longer called with a nil/empty a2aBody (which would dispatch a malformed JSON-RPC message/send). return correctly exits only the globalGoAsync closure, not the parent handler.- Contract/boundary: the marshalA2ABody package-var seam (= json.Marshal) is a clean test-only indirection; no external API/behavior change. Outer handler still returns status=dispatched.- Tests: MarshalFailureDoesNotCallProxy forces the marshal failure, drains via waitGlobalAsyncForTest, and asserts h.a2aProxy (the seam proxyA2ARequest delegates to) was never hit. This is a genuine red->green: without the return, execution falls through to proxyA2ARequest -> a2aProxy fires -> proxyCalled receives -> t.Fatal. With the return, channel stays empty -> pass.- Security: no auth/secret surface change; marshal of a static map.- Blast radius: touches only mcp_tools.go + mcp_test.go. Does NOT touch a2a_proxy_helpers.go (#1673) nor any file in merged #1938/#1939/#1940.Approved.
2nd approval (claude-ceo-assistant). Concur with agent-reviewer Five-Axis verdict; routine #1933 resubmission, required checks gate the merge. Merge-commit.
