Decision Logs: ALWAYS Mode (Automatic Logging)
===============================================

This example demonstrates automatic decision logging where
tool calls are automatically recorded as decisions.

In ALWAYS mode, DecisionLogStore extracts decisions from:
- Tool calls (which tool was used)
- Other significant choices the agent makes
