//! The multi-turn tool-calling loop (D-01/D-02). No analog exists elsewhere //! in this codebase — this is the first tool-calling agent loop ever //! written here (confirmed by 13-RESEARCH.md/13-AI-SPEC.md); built directly //! from `13-AI-SPEC.md` §3/§4's sketch. //! //! Concurrency discipline inherited from `mesh/listener/assist.rs`'s own //! doc comment ("Spawned off the radio loop so it never blocks"): never //! hold a shared lock across a `.await` that can block for human-response //! time. The confirm-gate wait in `execute_tool` below is exactly such an //! await — it can suspend for minutes while a human decides — and it is //! reached holding no lock at all: the gate's own internal lock is scoped //! to map edits inside `confirm.rs`, and nothing here wraps the call in a //! guard.
