Motivation & Context

Fixes #8515. A2AAgent(timeout=30) raised TypeError because the guard only allowed float and httpx.Timeout. ints are valid timeouts for httpx itself and the natural spelling.

Description & Review Guide

  • What are the major changes? the timeout validation accepts int (coerced to float) alongside float and httpx.Timeout.
  • What is the impact of these changes? int timeouts work; nothing else changes.
  • What do you want reviewers to focus on? the guard change in the a2a agent construction path.

A2AAgent._create_timeout_config only accepted float and httpx.Timeout, so
A2AAgent(url=..., timeout=30) raised TypeError. Per PEP 484's numeric tower
an int is a valid float, and httpx.Timeout itself accepts ints. Accept int
(and float) while continuing to reject bool and other types.
