"""Assorted AIAgent runtime helpers (message repair/sanitization, credential recovery, primary
runtime restore, prompt-cache policy, client construction, model switching, tool invocation).
Each function takes the parent ``AIAgent`` as ``agent`` except the stateless message helpers.
``_ra()`` resolves ``run_agent`` lazily so tests patching ``run_agent.X`` keep intercepting.
