Hongming Wang 391e187281 fix(a2a,canvas): make delivery failures comprehensive instead of "[A2A_ERROR] "
Symptom: Activity tab and Agent Comms surfaced bare "[A2A_ERROR] "
(prefix + nothing) for failed delegations. Operator had no signal
to act on — no exception type, no target, no hint about what went
wrong, no next step. Fix is in three layers.

1. workspace/a2a_client.py — every error path now produces an
   actionable detail string:

   - except branch: some httpx exceptions (RemoteProtocolError,
     ConnectionReset variants) stringify to "". Pre-fix the catch
     was `f"{_A2A_ERROR_PREFIX}{e}"` → bare prefix. Now falls back
     to `<TypeName> (no message — likely connection reset or silent
     timeout)` and always appends `[target=<url>]` for traceability
     in chained delegations.
   - JSON-RPC error branch: previously dropped error.code on the
     floor and printed "unknown" when message was missing. Now
     surfaces both, including the well-defined "JSON-RPC error
     with no message (code=N)" path.
   - "neither result nor error" branch: pre-fix returned
     str(payload) which the canvas rendered as a successful
     response block. Now tagged as A2A_ERROR with a payload
     snippet so downstream UI routes through the error path.

2. workspace/a2a_tools.py — tool_delegate_task now passes
   error_detail (the stripped error message) through to the
   activity-log POST. The platform's activity_logs.error_detail
   column is the canvas's red error chip source; populating it
   makes the failure visible in the row header without the user
   having to expand into raw response_body JSON. The summary line
   also gets a 120-char prefix of the cause so the collapsed row
   reads "React Engineer failed: ConnectionResetError: ... [target=...]"
   instead of "React Engineer failed".

3. canvas/src/components/tabs/ActivityTab.tsx — MessagePreview
   now detects [A2A_ERROR]-prefixed bodies and renders a
   structured error block (red chip, stripped detail, cause hint)
   instead of the previous gray text-block that showed the literal
   "[A2A_ERROR]" string. inferA2AErrorHint mirrors the patterns
   from AgentCommsPanel.inferCauseHint so the same symptom reads
   the same way in both surfaces (Claude SDK init wedge → restart
   workspace; timeout → busy/stuck; connection-reset → transient
   blip then check logs).

Tests: 9 send_a2a_message tests pass (including a new regression
test for the empty-stringifying-exception case that the user
reported); 995 canvas tests pass; tsc clean.
