+Middleware System for PraisonAI Agents.
+
+Provides wrap_model_call and wrap_tool_call patterns for intercepting
+and modifying agent behavior at model/tool call boundaries.
+
+Zero Performance Impact:
+- All middleware is optional
+- Empty middleware chain is O(1) fast path
+- No overhead when middleware not registered
+
+Usage:
+    from praisonaiagents.hooks import before_model, wrap_model_call, wrap_tool_call
+    
+    @before_model
+    def add_context(request):
+        request.messages.append({"role": "system", "content": "Extra"})

+Async Jobs API for PraisonAI.

+Provides HTTP API endpoints for long-running agent tasks:
+- Submit jobs (POST /api/v1/runs)
+- Check status (GET /api/v1/runs/{job_id})
+- Get results (GET /api/v1/runs/{job_id}/result)
+- Cancel jobs (POST /api/v1/runs/{job_id}/cancel)
+- Stream progress (GET /api/v1/runs/{job_id}/stream)
+
+Zero Performance Impact:
+- All imports are lazy loaded via __getattr__
+- Server only starts when explicitly requested
+- No overhead when not in use
+
+Usage:
