+       to completion in a dedicated thread with its own event loop.
+
+    This is a live production helper on the sync tool-calling path (see

+    tool loop, otherwise a bare un-awaited coroutine would be handed to the

+
+    Delegates to the single canonical bridge

+    call sites share one implementation: the caller's ``contextvars`` (trace /
+    session / approval context) are carried into the coroutine, and the running
+    loop is handled on a dedicated worker thread rather than raising.

+    ``timeout=None`` is passed deliberately: this helper backs the sync

+"""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"}}``

+JSON and pretending otherwise would produce a config that imports as a
+different agent. ``tools_resolvable`` says whether the names could be rebound,
+so a caller is told rather than left to discover it.
+
+Scope, stated plainly so a caller is not surprised: this exports the scalar
+constructor arguments that are JSON-safe and round-trip cleanly (identity, the
+model, and simple flags). It does not yet serialise the grouped feature-config
+objects (``output=``, ``reflection=``, ``execution=`` ...) -- those are rich
+dataclasses, not scalars, and rebuilding them faithfully is a separate,
+larger piece of work. An agent that relies on a customised grouped config will
+round-trip to one carrying that config's *defaults*, not the original. That is

 Unified Execution Mixin - implements Gap 1 from Issue #1392.
 
 .. deprecated::
-    UnifiedExecutionMixin is unused and scheduled for removal (Issue #2644).
-    None of its methods are invoked by production code: the live execution paths
-    use ``_chat_impl`` / ``_execute_unified_chat_completion`` (in ``chat_mixin.py``)
-    and ``execute_tool`` (in ``tool_execution.py``), which are distinct from this
-    mixin's methods despite the similar names. This module remains importable and
-    emits a ``DeprecationWarning`` from its public methods during the deprecation
-    window; it will be removed from the ``Agent`` MRO after the cycle completes.
+    UnifiedExecutionMixin's *public* methods (``unified_chat``, ``unified_achat``,
+    ``unified_execute_tool``/``_async``, ``_unified_chat_impl``,
+    ``_apply_guardrails_async``) are unused by production code and scheduled for
+    removal (Issue #2644): the live execution paths use ``_chat_impl`` /
+    ``_execute_unified_chat_completion`` (in ``chat_mixin.py``) and ``execute_tool``
+    (in ``tool_execution.py``), which are distinct despite the similar names. These
+    public methods emit a ``DeprecationWarning`` during the deprecation window and
+    the mixin will be removed from the ``Agent`` MRO after the cycle completes.
     Use ``Agent.chat()`` / ``Agent.achat()`` / ``Agent.execute_tool()`` instead.
 
+    NOTE: The event-loop bridge previously defined here as
+    ``_run_async_in_sync_context`` **is** live production code (the sync
+    tool-calling path in ``tool_execution.py`` depends on it). It has been
+    relocated to the stable ``async_safety.run_async_in_sync_context`` so that
+    removing this deprecated mixin from the MRO is a true no-op. The method here
+    is now only a thin shim kept for the deprecated public methods above.

 This module consolidates sync/async execution paths into a single async-first 
 implementation with a thin sync bridge, eliminating code duplication between
 chat()/achat() and execute_tool()/execute_tool_async().
