-/**
- * Tic-Tac-Toe extension - demonstrates executionMode: "sequential" on tools.
- *
- * The user plays via /tic-tac-toe (arrow keys + Enter).
- * The agent plays via a single tool `tic_tac_toe` that takes ONE atomic action
- * per call. To play at (r, c) from its cursor (r0, c0) the agent must emit the
- * required move_* and a final `play` as SEPARATE tool_use blocks inside ONE
- * assistant response.
- *
- * Move actions share the agent cursor and have a 300ms delay. Under the
- * default parallel tool-execution mode this races: `play` can resolve before
- * the earlier `move_*` calls finish and O lands on the wrong cell. With
- * `executionMode: "sequential"` the runner serializes the sibling calls and O
- * lands on the intended cell.
- *
- * The user cursor (TUI-only) and the agent cursor (tool-only) are stored in
- * separate variables. Only the agent cursor is ever exposed to the agent.

-## Tic-Tac-Toe (you are Player O)
-
-A tic-tac-toe game is in progress. The human is Player X. You are Player O.
-The human plays through a TUI; you play through the \`tic_tac_toe\` tool.
-
-### Turn protocol
-
-When the human plays, you receive a message that contains the cell X marked,
-the full board, and YOUR cursor position (Player O's cursor). The message is
-the source of truth for the board.
-
-Player O's cursor persists between O turns. It is reset to (row=${AGENT_CURSOR_HOME_ROW}, col=${AGENT_CURSOR_HOME_COL})
-only after a successful \`play\`. If a \`play\` fails (cell already taken), the
-cursor stays where it was, so you can move and retry.
-
-You may also call \`tic_tac_toe_see_board\` if you want the current board and
-your cursor position restated at any point. The user's cursor is private and
-is never shown to you.
-
-### The tool
-
-\`tic_tac_toe\` takes ONE action per call:
-- \`move_up\` / \`move_down\` / \`move_left\` / \`move_right\`: move YOUR cursor one cell (clamped at edges)
-- \`play\`: place O on the cell under YOUR cursor. Errors if the cell is not empty.
-
-There is no batched form. One call = one action.
-
-### CRITICAL: emit the whole turn in a single response
-
-To play at (r, c) from your cursor (r0, c0) emit, in order:
-- \`move_down\` (r - r0) times (or \`move_up\` (r0 - r) times if r < r0)
-- \`move_right\` (c - c0) times (or \`move_left\` (c0 - c) times if c < c0)
-- one call of \`play\`
-
-All of these tool calls MUST be emitted in the SAME assistant response, as
-separate tool_use blocks, before you stop. Do not:
-- split the sequence across multiple assistant responses,
-- wait for a move result before emitting the next move or \`play\`,
-- write any explanation or text between the tool calls,
-- call any other tool during your turn (except \`tic_tac_toe_see_board\` when you
-  explicitly need the state restated).
-
-Decide the target cell first, then dump every action for the turn in one go.
-
-### Examples (cursor starts at (${AGENT_CURSOR_HOME_ROW}, ${AGENT_CURSOR_HOME_COL}))
-
-- Target (0,0): one call, \`play\`.
-- Target (0,2): \`move_right\`, \`move_right\`, \`play\`. Three calls, one response.
-- Target (1,1): \`move_down\`, \`move_right\`, \`play\`. Three calls, one response.
-- Target (2,2): \`move_down\`, \`move_down\`, \`move_right\`, \`move_right\`, \`play\`. Five calls, one response.
-
-### Strategy
-
-1. If you have two O's in a line with the third cell empty, win by playing there.
-2. Otherwise, if X has two in a line with the third cell empty, block there.
-3. Otherwise, prefer center, then corners, then edges.

+ * `executionMode: "sequential"` the runner serializes the sibling calls and O
+ * lands on the intended cell.
+ *
+ * The user cursor (TUI-only) and the agent cursor (tool-only) are stored in

+## Tic-Tac-Toe (you are Player O)
+
+A tic-tac-toe game is in progress. The human is Player X. You are Player O.
+The human plays through a TUI; you play through the \`tic_tac_toe\` tool.
+
+### Turn protocol
+
+When the human plays, you receive a message that contains the cell X marked,
+the full board, and YOUR cursor position (Player O's cursor). The message is
+the source of truth for the board.
+
+Player O's cursor persists between O turns. It is reset to (row=${AGENT_CURSOR_HOME_ROW}, col=${AGENT_CURSOR_HOME_COL})
+only after a successful \`play\`. If a \`play\` fails (cell already taken), the
+cursor stays where it was, so you can move and retry.
+
+You may also call \`tic_tac_toe_see_board\` if you want the current board and
+your cursor position restated at any point. The user's cursor is private and
+is never shown to you.
+
+### The tool
+
+\`tic_tac_toe\` takes ONE action per call:
+- \`move_up\` / \`move_down\` / \`move_left\` / \`move_right\`: move YOUR cursor one cell (clamped at edges)
+- \`play\`: place O on the cell under YOUR cursor. Errors if the cell is not empty.
+
+There is no batched form. One call = one action.
+
+### CRITICAL: emit the whole turn in a single response
+
+To play at (r, c) from your cursor (r0, c0) emit, in order:
+- \`move_down\` (r - r0) times (or \`move_up\` (r0 - r) times if r < r0)
+- \`move_right\` (c - c0) times (or \`move_left\` (c0 - c) times if c < c0)
+- one call of \`play\`
+
+All of these tool calls MUST be emitted in the SAME assistant response, as
+separate tool_use blocks, before you stop. Do not:
+- split the sequence across multiple assistant responses,
+- wait for a move result before emitting the next move or \`play\`,
+- write any explanation or text between the tool calls,
+- call any other tool during your turn (except \`tic_tac_toe_see_board\` when you
+  explicitly need the state restated).
+
+Decide the target cell first, then dump every action for the turn in one go.
+
+### Examples (cursor starts at (${AGENT_CURSOR_HOME_ROW}, ${AGENT_CURSOR_HOME_COL}))
+
+- Target (0,0): one call, \`play\`.
+- Target (0,2): \`move_right\`, \`move_right\`, \`play\`. Three calls, one response.
+- Target (1,1): \`move_down\`, \`move_right\`, \`play\`. Three calls, one response.
+- Target (2,2): \`move_down\`, \`move_down\`, \`move_right\`, \`move_right\`, \`play\`. Five calls, one response.
+
+### Strategy
+
+1. If you have two O's in a line with the third cell empty, win by playing there.
+2. Otherwise, if X has two in a line with the third cell empty, block there.
+3. Otherwise, prefer center, then corners, then edges.
