Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Refactor: Enhance modularity, maintainability, and async
 handling

This major refactoring separates the CLI LLM agent into distinct components:

1.  **LLMAgentCore (`src/llm_agent_core.py`):**
    *   Encapsulates core LLM interaction logic: Gemini client management, chat session handling, conversation history, token counting.
    *   Manages tool registration and execution, supporting both synchronous and asynchronous tools (using AsyncTaskManager for async tools).
    *   Handles `GenerationConfig`.

2.  **CodeAgent (`src/main.py`):**
    *   Acts as the CLI interaction layer using `prompt-toolkit`.
    *   Delegates LLM operations to `LLMAgentCore`.
    *   Delegates background task management to `AsyncTaskManager`.
    *   Manages CLI-specific state.

3.  **AsyncTaskManager (`src/async_task_manager.py`):**
    *   Centralizes `asyncio` event loop management (runs in a separate thread).
    *   Handles submission, tracking, and cancellation of background tasks (e.g., PDF processing, script execution).
    *   Provides callbacks for task results.

4.  **Slash Commands (`src/slashcommands.py`):**
    *   Handlers updated to interact with `LLMAgentCore` for relevant backend operations and state modifications.

5.  **Tools (`src/tools.py`):**
    *   Browser-based tools (`google_search`, `open_url`) converted to `async def`.
    *   Standardized `google.generativeai` imports.

**Key Improvements & Fixes:**
*   Resolved critical `ImportError` for `google.genai` by standardizing import style.
*   Fixed `AttributeError` by migrating from `ThinkingConfig` to `GenerationConfig`.
*   Addressed `ImportError` for `BrowserContext` in `agent_browser_utils.py`.
*   Improved separation of concerns for state management.
*   Ensured clean configuration loading and component initialization.
*   Validated structural integrity through iterative application startup checks.

**Outstanding Considerations (for future work):**
*   Runtime testing of browser-based tools due to a potential underlying dependency conflict with `browser-use`.
*   Full functional validation of all commands and LLM interactions in a live environment.
*   Further investigation into mapping the `/thinking_budget` command's intent to `GenerationConfig` capabilities.
