What's changing

The rovo:agentConnector module has moved from EAP to Preview. Apps using it can now deploy to production and staging environments, enabling Marketplace listing. Key changes:

• A2A v1.0 is now required — v0.3 is no longer supported. Apps still on v0.3 are rejected at deployment. Manifest must declare version: "1.0" under protocols.agent2Agent.
• System user mentionability change — adding rovo:agentConnector makes the app's system user non-mentionable; the agent connector user takes its place. Forge CLI v13.3+ warns and prompts for approval at deploy time.
• Requires Forge CLI v13.3+.

Impact on forge-sim parity

• Manifest/modules: if/when forge-sim recognizes rovo:agentConnector, manifest validation should require protocols.agent2Agent.version: "1.0" and reject v0.3 (matching real deploy rejection). Now that the module is Preview (deployable to prod), it's in scope for simulation, not EAP-fenced.
• Deploy semantics: the CLI approval prompt for the system-user mentionability change is a deploy-time behavior; low priority for the simulator but relevant if forge-sim's deploy path validates rovo modules.
• Simulator area: modules / manifest validation (and potentially the deploy pipeline).
