Research direction

Start at the scaffolded app's app.fast_api_app:app entry point and trace the public agent-card endpoint to the card_modifier mentioned in the issue. Reproduce the behavior with the provided curl loop, then verify that repeated requests leave supportedInterfaces at exactly two entries with the expected URLs.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Every project scaffolded from the ADK template appends a duplicate
JSONRPC / 0.3 entry to supportedInterfaces on every request to the
public agent-card endpoint. The list grows without bound for the life of
the process.

Reproduction
uv tool install google-agents-cli          # 1.4.1
agents-cli create react-agent --adk
cd react-agent && uv sync
uv run uvicorn app.fast_api_app:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000

for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do
  curl -s localhost:8000/a2a/app/.well-known/agent-card.json \
    | python3 -c "import sys,json;print(len(json.load(sys.stdin)['supportedInterfaces']))"
done

Observed: 2 3 4 5 6 — one JSONRPC 1.0 entry plus N identical
JSONRPC 0.3 entries, all with the same URL.

Expected: a stable card with exactly two interfaces, regardless of how
many times it is fetched.
