AI Agent Runner with Tool Calling

This module provides a clean, standalone agent that can execute AI models
with tool calling capabilities. It handles the conversation loop, tool execution,
and response management.

Features:
- Automatic tool calling loop until completion
- Configurable model parameters
- Error handling and recovery
- Message history management
- Support for multiple model providers

Usage:
    from run_agent import AIAgent
    
    agent = AIAgent(base_url="http://localhost:30000/v1", model="claude-opus-4-20250514")
    response = agent.run_conversation("Tell me about the latest Python updates")

    When hermes-agent runs as a systemd service, Docker container, or headless

    exhaustion, socket reset). Any print() call then raises
    ``OSError: [Errno 5] Input/output error``, which can crash agent setup or
    run_conversation() — especially via double-fault when an except handler
    also tries to print.

    Additionally, when subagents run in ThreadPoolExecutor threads, the shared
    stdout handle can close between thread teardown and cleanup, raising
    ``ValueError: I/O operation on closed file`` instead of OSError.

    This wrapper delegates all writes to the underlying stream and silently
    catches both OSError and ValueError. It is transparent when the wrapped
