"""
Resolve multi-round user input for an AgentOS team
==================================================
A member agent collects a traveller name and trip preferences in two separate
tool calls. Each ``requires_user_input`` call pauses the team run. The client
fills the returned requirement schema and calls the team ``continue`` route
until the run completes.
Prerequisites: OPENAI_API_KEY
Run: .venvs/demo/bin/python cookbook/05_agent_os/05_human_in_the_loop/user_input.py
Try: Run this file with --demo in another terminal
