//! The agent loop.
//!
//! Ask the model, run whatever tools it asks for, feed the results back, repeat
//! until it stops asking. Everything interesting — which provider, which tools,
//! who approves side effects — is injected, so the same loop drives the REPL,
//! a one-shot run, and a batch worker.
