Description
Should Agent Framework provide support for ACP?
https://agentclientprotocol.com/get-started/introduction
It's more specialized than A2A, focusing on "communication between code editors/IDEs and coding agents and is suitable for both local and remote scenarios".
The copilot CLI now exposes support, for example.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the ACP introduction and the GitHub Copilot ACP server reference linked in the issue, then inspect how this framework currently approaches A2A support. Done requires a concrete decision about ACP support and an agreed scope for the framework, since the issue does not identify implementation files, entry points, or tests.
