Description

### What happened?

1. Start a new session (a2a-rs protocol version 0.11.0!)
2. client sends a new prompt to agent: 'yo'
3. new context id (A) and task id (T1) is created
4. agent queues artifact A1 and completes task
5. client sends a new prompt to agent: 'yo2'
6. context id A is re-used as expected. task id is new (T2)
7. agent queus artifact A2 and completes task.
8. client received task update with context id A, task id T2 and artifacts A1 AND A2

I'm not 100% sure but is (8) now a bug or is this how it's supposed to be and I'm doing something wrong? I interpreted the spec that when a new task is created it should only contain the artifacts related to the task and not the aggregate of the whole context_id. I end-up now client-side with all the duplicates.

Does anyone know? Thanks a lot.
