 ## OpenAI Agents SDK Specifics
 
-**Agent (`agent/support_agent.py`)** is an `Agent[CaseyDeps]` with the model set directly on the agent (`model="gpt-5-nano"`). Tools are `@function_tool`-decorated async functions, each in its own file under `agent/tools/`. Execution uses `Runner.run_sync(casey_agent, input=..., context=deps)`.

Tools are `@function_tool`-decorated async functions, each in its own file under `agent/tools/`. Execution uses `Runner.run_sync(casey_agent, input=..., context=deps)`.
 
 **Conversation history** is stored as a generic `list` and must be manually combined with new user input before passing to `Runner.run_sync()`: `input_items = history + [{"role": "user", "content": text}]`. After execution, `result.to_input_list()` is stored back.

 ## Pydantic AI Specifics
 
-**Agent (`agent/casey.py`)** is a Pydantic AI `Agent` with `deps_type=CaseyDeps`. The model is **not** set on the agent (to avoid import-time OpenAI client creation); instead `DEFAULT_MODEL` (`openai:gpt-5-nano`) is passed at each `run_sync()` call site. Tools are passed via the `tools=[]` constructor parameter (not decorators) so each tool lives in its own file under `agent/tools/`.
