#### 🤔 Why we need this The “Agent Loop” is the SDK’s most complex subsystem: 1. It spans \~2 000 lines across `run.py`, guardrails, hand-offs, and streaming helpers. 2. Contributors often ask *“Where do guardrails fire?”* or *“How does the Runner decide between tool-calls and hand-offs?”* A single picture out-ranks a thousand words; the diagram turns that spaghetti into a map: ``` Runner ──▶ Agent ──▶ Model ──▷ Response ▲ │ │ │ ▼ ▼ Guardrails ◀──┘ Tool-Calls / Handoffs ```
