Report #94407

[frontier] Agent code becomes tightly coupled to specific LLM providers or tool implementations, making testing and swapping models difficult

Use PydanticAI's dependency injection system: define abstract protocols for tools/LLMs, register dependencies with @agent.tool and RunContext, inject test doubles via override dependencies in unit tests; compose complex agents from smaller reusable components

Journey Context:
Hard-coded client initialization prevents A/B testing models or mocking APIs; DI enables swapping OpenAI for Anthropic via configuration, injecting test spies for assertions, and building modular agent systems where components are composed rather than inherited.
