## Summary:
#263 added this behavior. The goal was to prevent infinite loops when tool choice was set. The key change I'm making is:
1. Making it configurable on the agent.
2. Doing bookkeeping in the Runner to track this, to prevent mutating agents.
3. Not resetting the global tool choice in RunConfig.
## Test Plan:
Unit tests.
.
- The _Converter.items_to_messages method was incorrectly rejecting 'assistant'
as a valid role in conversation messages, causing runtime errors when processing
standard chat completion message formats.
- This fix enables proper handling of
complete conversation contexts that include both user and assistant messages.
