Description

This PR fixes a bug in the A2A executor where file bytes from A2A messages were not being decoded from base64 before passing to Strands agents. The A2A protocol sends file data as base64-encoded strings, but the executor was previously passing these encoded strings directly to the agent instead of decoding them back to raw bytes. This meant agents were receiving base64 text instead of actual file content. The fix adds proper base64 decoding with error handling to ensure agents receive the correct binary file data.
