Concatenate streamed result parts without separators. When a streamed response reaches the terminal fallback in lib/crewai/src/crewai/a2a/updates/streaming/handler.py, it returns " ".join(result_parts). This inserts spaces between A2A append chunks, so ["Hel", "lo, ", "world"] becomes Hel lo, world instead of Hello, world. Use direct concatenation in this fallback.

Concatenate max-turns fallback text directly. When _handle_max_turns_exceeded handles a multi-part final message, it uses " ".join(text_parts). This inserts spaces between adjacent chunks and violates the A2A append contract. Both synchronous and asynchronous callers reach this fallback. Use "".join(text_parts) instead.

Exercise the artifact extraction path.
extract_task_result_parts appends artifact text after status-message text. This fixture provides only status-message parts and no concrete artifact entries, so an artifact-only extraction regression can pass. Set the status-message parts to [] and populate one artifact with the three text parts.

Fixes #7473
Problem
When a remote A2A agent streams (or persists) its reply as more than one text chunk, CrewAI's client-side reassembly corrupted the text — words got split apart with extra spaces inserted.
Per the A2A spec, artifact parts sent with
append=Trueare meant to be concatenated directly with no separator — that's the definition of "append." The code was instead joining parts with a space:Fix
Changed the join to use no separator, matching the A2A spec:
Testing
Added a regression test in
tests/a2a/test_task_helpers.pythat verifies streamed parts like["Hel", "lo, ", "world"]reassemble to"Hello, world". Confirmed the test fails against the old" ".join(...)behavior (producing"Hel lo, world") and passes with the fix.
