fix(review): adopt every documented backend protocol, not just get_response

Review found the Agent(llm=<object>) fix was incomplete, and it was right.
Verified by running it:

    chat_completion-only backend -> self.llm=<object>  custom=False   BUG
    get_response backend         -> self.llm="custom/..." custom=True  ok

llm/protocols.py documents two more backend surfaces besides get_response:
LLMProviderProtocol via chat/achat, and UnifiedLLMProtocol via
chat_completion/achat_completion. A backend implementing either still fell
through to the plain OpenAI branch, where the object became the model
identifier and the turn went to the wrong backend -- the same defect the
branch was added to fix, for a different protocol.

Detection now duck-types across all of them. Five tests, including two
controls: a plain object with no backend method is still NOT adopted, and a
string llm is unaffected.

+"""Attachment routing for multimodal prompts.
+
+The one invariant this module exists to enforce: **an attachment is never
+dropped silently**. Every input either becomes a model-visible content part, or
+produces a loud, actionable signal that names the file and says why.
+
+Two failure classes are treated differently on purpose:
+
+``raise`` -- *addressing* errors: the path does not exist, is a directory, is
+    unreadable, or the attachment is not a type this API accepts. These are
+    always caller mistakes (a typo, a wrong working directory, a stale path).
+    They are fully actionable at the call site, there is no useful degraded
+    answer, and continuing would produce a confident answer about a file the
+    model never saw. Raising is the only way the caller can tell.
+
+``warn + visible degrade`` -- *capability* limits: the file is there and
+    readable, but the target model cannot ingest that media type. The run can
+    still be useful, so we log a warning **and** put a marker part in the
+    prompt so the model itself knows a file was withheld or converted and can
+    say so. This is environmental, not a bug in the caller's code, and hard
+    failing would make a model swap a breaking change.
+
+Escape hatches (both default to the behaviour described above):
+
+- ``PRAISONAI_ATTACHMENTS_ON_MISSING=warn`` downgrades the missing/unreadable
+  raise to a warning + visible marker part.
+- ``PRAISONAI_ATTACHMENTS_STRICT=1`` escalates capability degrades to raises,
+  for pipelines that would rather fail than get a partial answer.
+
+Part shapes emitted (OpenAI/LiteLLM chat-completions style):
+
+- image      -> ``{"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "data:...;base64,..."}}``
+- pdf native -> ``{"type": "file", "file": {"filename": ..., "file_data": "data:application/pdf;base64,..."}}``
+- audio      -> ``{"type": "input_audio", "input_audio": {"data": "<b64>", "format": "mp3"}}``

         This is a DRY helper used by chat/achat/run/arun/start/astart.
         Attachments are ephemeral - only text is stored in history.
         
+        Routing lives in ``praisonaiagents.agent.attachments``. The contract is
+        that an attachment is **never dropped silently**: a bad path raises
+        :class:`~praisonaiagents.agent.attachments.AttachmentError`, and a file
+        the target model cannot ingest is logged as a warning *and* replaced
+        with a visible marker part (or a locally extracted text form) so both
+        the caller and the model know what happened.
+        
         Args:
             prompt: Text query (ALWAYS stored in chat_history)
-            attachments: Image/file paths for THIS turn only (NEVER stored)

+"""In-run guardrail retry signalling.
+
+A guardrail normally reports failure by returning ``(False, "why")``. That works
+when the validator *is* the thing doing the checking, but not when the check
+lives several frames down - a Pydantic model that fails to parse, a lookup that
+comes back empty, a helper that already raises. ``GuardrailRetry`` lets any of

+        return True, output
+
+    agent = Agent(instructions="...", guardrails=in_customer_country)
+
+The message is appended to the *same* conversation as a user turn, so the model
+patches its previous answer in place instead of restarting the task, bounded by
+``max_guardrail_retries`` (``GuardrailConfig(max_retries=...)``).
+
+Any other exception raised by a guardrail is still treated as a validation
+*error* and reported as such; ``GuardrailRetry`` is the deliberate "not
+acceptable, here is why" signal.

+"""Per-tool guardrails: validate the arguments and the result of ONE tool.
+
+PraisonAI already had guardrails at two scopes and nothing in between:
+
+* ``Agent(guardrail=...)`` / ``Task(guardrail=...)`` validate the **final
+  output** of a whole run.
+* The agent-wide tool surface (``_tool_call_guardrails`` /
+  ``_tool_result_guardrails``, fed from a ``GuardrailProtocol`` object passed to
+  ``Agent(guardrails=...)``) fires for **every tool** the agent can reach.
+* ``approval`` gates a tool call on a **human**, interactively.
+
+None of those let a tool author say "*this one* tool must never be called with a
+recipient outside the company domain". Doing it today meant policing every tool
+through interactive approval, or hand-wrapping the function body. This module
+adds the missing scope, declared on the tool itself next to ``approval`` and
+``restart_safe``::
+
+    def internal_recipients_only(arguments: dict):
+        if not arguments.get("to", "").endswith("@corp.com"):
+            return False, "Recipient is outside the company domain."
+        return True, arguments
+
+    @tool(input_guardrails=[internal_recipients_only])
+    def send_email(to: str, body: str) -> str:
+        ...
+
+The guardrail fires on every invocation of ``send_email`` and never for any
+other tool.
+
+What a guardrail function receives and returns
+----------------------------------------------
+An **input** guardrail takes one positional argument, the ``arguments`` dict the
+model proposed. An **output** guardrail takes one positional argument, the raw
+result the tool returned. Both use the ``(success, value)`` tuple convention
+already used everywhere else in this package (``Agent(guardrail=fn)``,
+``GuardrailProtocol``):
+
+* ``(True, value)`` - allow; ``value`` replaces the arguments/result, so a
+  guardrail can **rewrite** (sanitise arguments, redact a secret out of a
+  result). ``(True, None)`` allows the original through unchanged.
+* ``(False, "reason")`` - block. The reason is handed back to the **model** as
+  the tool result so it can react and try something else; it is never raised at
+  the user.
+* A bare ``True`` / ``False`` works too, as does a
+  :class:`~praisonaiagents.guardrails.GuardrailResult`.
+* ``None`` (a validator that only ever returns ``False`` to object, and falls
+  off the end otherwise) means "no opinion" - allow unchanged. The deny path is
+  explicit, so nothing is lost by being permissive here.
+* Anything else is a contract violation and **fails closed**: an unreadable
+  verdict is not an approval.
+
+A guardrail that raises also fails closed, matching ``GuardrailChain``'s
+default. Pass an object exposing ``validate_tool_call`` / ``validate_tool_result``
+(any ``GuardrailProtocol`` implementation, including a ``GuardrailChain``) to
+reuse an existing guardrail unchanged.

+"""Global guard that blocks real model requests.

+that turns that silent slip into a loud failure::
+
+    from praisonaiagents.model_harness import allow_model_requests
+
+    # conftest.py -- nothing in this suite may reach a provider
+    allow_model_requests(False)
+
+Once blocked, the two request paths an :class:`~praisonaiagents.agent.Agent`
+uses -- ``LLM``/LiteLLM (Chat Completions and Responses, sync, async and
+streaming) and the OpenAI-native client -- raise :class:`ModelRequestBlocked`
+before any network I/O, and the message names the call site in *your* code that
+triggered it.
+
+Scope: this covers the agent's own turn-taking. Auxiliary model calls made by
+other subsystems (memory scoring, embeddings) hold their own clients and are
+not routed through these two paths.
+
+A :class:`~praisonaiagents.model_harness.ScriptedModel` answers from its script
+without touching either path, so scripted tests keep passing while the guard is
+on. That is the intended pairing: block globally, script explicitly.

+The initial state can also be set from the environment, which is handy for CI
+without touching test code::

+calls in broad ``except Exception`` handlers that degrade a failure into a

+follows the precedent pytest sets with its own outcome exceptions and derives

+stops" -- in milliseconds, with no network, no API key and no ``unittest.mock``
+patching of provider internals.
+
+It is a real :class:`~praisonaiagents.llm.llm.LLM` subclass that replaces the
+methods which talk to a provider and nothing else, so everything around the
+call is the production code path: the system prompt is assembled normally,
+tools are serialised to real schemas, scripted tool calls are dispatched
+through the agent's own executor, and results are fed back as real tool
+messages. Replies are built as genuine litellm response objects, so they are
+parsed by the same code a live response would be.
+
+Basic use::
+
+    from praisonaiagents import Agent
+    from praisonaiagents.model_harness import ScriptedModel
+
+    model = ScriptedModel(["Paris."])
+    agent = Agent(instructions="You are a geography bot.", llm=model)
+
+    assert agent.start("What is the capital of France?") == "Paris."
+    assert model.requests[0].last_user_message == "What is the capital of France?"
+
+Scripting a tool call followed by a final answer::
+
+    model = ScriptedModel([
+        ScriptedModel.tool_call("refund", {"order_id": "A1"}),
+        "Refunded order A1.",
+    ])
+    agent = Agent(instructions="Support bot.", llm=model, tools=[refund])
+
+    assert agent.start("refund order A1") == "Refunded order A1."
+    assert model.request_count == 2  # tool turn, then the follow-up
+
+A script entry may also be a callable, which receives the
+:class:`RecordedRequest` and returns a reply -- useful for replies that depend
+on what the agent actually sent::
+
+    model = ScriptedModel([lambda req: f"You said: {req.last_user_message}"])
+
+When the agent asks for one more reply than the script holds, the double raises
+:class:`ScriptExhausted` rather than hanging, looping or inventing an answer.

+"""A rejected answer must be corrected *inside* the same run.
+
+A guardrail could already say "no, because X", but that reason only ever reached
+the model as a brand-new one-message request - original prompt plus a note -
+with the system prompt, context and the rejected answer itself all thrown away.
+These tests pin the in-run correction loop:
+
+  * a validator that rejects once costs exactly two model calls and returns the
+    corrected answer (control: a passing validator costs exactly one);
+  * the rejection text is in the second request, appended to the *same*
+    conversation after the rejected assistant turn (control: it appears nowhere
+    in the first request, and nowhere at all when validation passes);
+  * a validator that always rejects stops at ``max_guardrail_retries`` with an
+    error naming the bound and the last reason (control: the identical setup
+    with a satisfiable validator succeeds within the same bound).
+
+Everything runs against a stubbed OpenAI transport - no network.

+"""Per-tool guardrails: @tool(input_guardrails=..., output_guardrails=...).
+
+PraisonAI could validate an agent's FINAL output (``Agent(guardrail=...)``) and
+could gate EVERY tool call on a human (``approval``), but nothing sat in
+between: there was no way to attach a validator to ONE tool. These tests cover
+the new scope end to end.
+
+Every positive is paired with a control:
+
+* an input guardrail blocks a call -> the tool never executes, and the rejection
+  reaches the model (control: the same tool with allowed arguments runs and its
+  real output reaches the model)
+* an input guardrail rewrites arguments -> the tool sees the rewritten ones
+  (control: an identical unguarded tool sees the originals)
+* an output guardrail substitutes a result (control: a pass-through guardrail
+  leaves it alone)
+* a guardrail on tool A does not fire for tool B (control: A's own call does
+  fire it)
+* an unguarded tool is entirely unaffected
+
+Plus the documented ordering against the approval gate, the agent-wide
+guardrail surface, and the trust-level fence.
+
+No network: tools are local functions and the LLM is a stub whose
+``chat.completions.create`` returns canned tool calls.

 /**
  * RealtimeAgent - Real-time voice/audio interaction agent
- *
+ * 
  * Python parity with praisonaiagents/agent/realtime_agent.py
- * Enables real-time voice conversations over a real WebSocket connection.
- *
- * ## Why the WebSocket is loaded the way it is
- *
- * This module is exported from the package root, so it has to stay loadable in
- * a browser/webview bundle (see `scripts/webview-gate.mjs`). A static
- * `import WebSocket from 'ws'` would put an unresolvable bare specifier on that
- * bundle. So the implementation is resolved at call time:
- *
- *   1. an explicitly injected constructor (`{ webSocket }`), for tests and for
- *      runtimes that ship their own,
- *   2. `globalThis.WebSocket` -- browsers, React Native, and Node >= 22,
- *   3. the optional `ws` package, imported through a computed specifier so no
- *      bundler tries to resolve it statically. `ws` is NOT a dependency of this
- *      package; this branch only fires if a consumer installed it themselves,
- *   4. otherwise a clear error naming all three ways to fix it. It never
- *      pretends to have connected.
+ * Enables real-time voice conversations using WebSocket connections.

- * does that -- see "Driver loading" below.
- *
- * ## Driver loading
- *
- * Two drivers can back this adapter, tried in order:
- *
- *  1. `better-sqlite3` -- the declared dependency. It is a native module, so
- *     its prebuilt binding is compiled against one specific Node ABI
- *     (`NODE_MODULE_VERSION`). Installed under one Node major and run under
- *     another, `new Database(...)` throws `ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED`.
- *  2. `node:sqlite` -- Node's own SQLite, built into Node >= 22.5. No native
- *     build step, so no ABI to mismatch. It is flagged experimental by Node
- *     and prints one `ExperimentalWarning` when first loaded. Same on-disk
- *     format, so a file written by either driver reads in the other.
- *
- * If neither loads, every operation REJECTS with a message naming what each
- * driver did and how to fix it. It never falls back to memory: a persistence
- * layer that quietly stops persisting is the bug this module exists to fix.
- *
- * `PRAISONAI_SQLITE_DRIVER=better-sqlite3|node` pins the choice (useful to
- * reproduce a driver-specific failure); `driver` on the constructor does the
- * same per-instance.
- *
- * ## Schema (version 1.0)
- *
- * Table and column names mirror what the Python side persists
- * (`praisonaiagents/db/protocol.py`, `runs/sqlite_ledger.py`) so the two are
- * conceptually aligned: snake_case columns, JSON-encoded `metadata`,
- * epoch-millisecond timestamps. Only the fields TypeScript's `DbAdapter`
- * actually has are stored -- Python's `input_content`/`output_content`/
- * `events` have no TypeScript counterpart and are not invented here.
- *
- *   sessions(id PK, created_at, updated_at, metadata)
- *   messages(id PK, session_id, run_id, role, content, name, tool_call_id,
- *            tool_calls, created_at, metadata)
- *   runs(id PK, session_id, agent_name, status, started_at, completed_at,
- *        error, metadata, prompt_tokens, completion_tokens, total_tokens)
- *   tool_calls(id PK, run_id, name, arguments, result, status, started_at,
- *              completed_at, error)
- *   traces(id PK, session_id, run_id, agent_name, started_at, completed_at,
- *          status, metadata)
- *   spans(id PK, trace_id, parent_id, name, started_at, completed_at, status,
- *         attributes)
- *   praisonai_meta(key PK, value)   -- holds schema_version
- *
- * Timestamps are epoch milliseconds (`Date.now()`), matching the `DbMessage`/
- * `DbRun` types, NOT Python's float seconds.

- *  1. Two concurrent connect() calls both pass the isConnected() check and both

- *  2. A disconnect() still waiting on an old socket can clear a NEW socket
