teknium1 2c317416c4 fix(a2a): client tools take args-as-dict positional; accept agent_name alias
Live Tier-3 testing (CLI agent -> a2a tools -> live peer gateway -> model)
surfaced two bugs the kwarg-style unit tests masked:

1. registry.dispatch calls handlers as handler(args, **kwargs) — args is the
   whole dict positional. The handlers used keyword params (url=, agent=), so
   the dict bound to the first param and .strip() raised
   'dict object has no attribute strip'. Rewrote all three handlers to take
   args: dict (matching the spotify/google_meet convention). Added a
   registry-dispatch regression test that exercises the real call path the
   direct-kwarg tests never hit.

2. The model repeatedly reached for agent_name= instead of agent= (6 retries
   before success). Accept agent_name/name and message/text/task aliases so a
   reasonable guess succeeds first try.

Verified live: client agent discovers the peer's Agent Card, calls it, and
gets the reply back (PONG round-trip confirmed on both client audit log and
peer conversation log). 39 plugin tests pass.
