// ModelExecutor runs an agent against a model.
//
// This is the agent loop. It is spec-driven and there is exactly one of it: no
// branch anywhere below asks which agent it is running. An agent's identity
// reaches this code only as data — its instructions, its tier, its skills —
// which is what I6 means in practice and what makes adding an agent a data
// change rather than a deploy.
//
// The loop runs until the model stops asking for tools, or until a bound is
// reached. Every exit is one of the six terminations.

// trajectoryPersistTimeout bounds the trajectory write that happens after a run
// has produced its answer. Generous, because losing the record of a run is
// worse than a slow one, but finite: the caller is still waiting on this, so an
// unreachable database must cost seconds and not the request's whole write
// timeout. See finish.

// A var rather than a const only so a test can assert the bound holds without
// spending the bound. Nothing outside this package sets it.
