Asked for the fish in every Valheim biome, the turn researched for five
rounds and then displayed "Stopped after 5 rounds of tool calls without a
final answer." Three things compounded:
- MAX_TOOL_ITERATIONS of 5 is too few for a question that needs several
searches and a few pages. It is a safety net against looping, not a
budget anyone chose.
- The loop discarded everything. `content` was scoped to the iteration, so
every preamble the model wrote was thrown away and the turn ended with an
app-generated message about its own control flow.
- The model was never told it was running out, so it kept searching until
the hard stop instead of answering with what it had.
The budget is now spent on a closing round with the tools taken away and an
instruction to answer from what was gathered, naming anything it could not
confirm. So the worst case is a partial answer that says what is missing.
If the closing round produces nothing, the last preamble is used, and only
then the notice. The cap is 8 because the extra round is not more searching,
it is the answer.

get_location printed "City: Manila", derived from the last segment of the
IANA zone name. That is the timezone database's representative place, not
the user's: Asia/Manila is one zone covering the entire Philippines,
Asia/Kolkata covers all of India, Europe/Oslo all of Norway. It was wrong
for anyone outside the zone's namesake, and confidently so, because a model
asked about the weather uses it without hesitating. The README claimed the
value was region-level, so the output also contradicted its own docs.
- The zone's label is still reported, as `Timezone area`, and named for what
it is. Both the field and the tool note say outright that it is not the
user's city, and the tool description repeats it.
- The locale region subtag is now used, which is a declaration rather than an
inference: a locale of en-PH is the Philippines because the user set it.
- A Location preference was added. It is the only exact place this extension
has, it is reported verbatim and first, and when it is set the note tells
the model to prefer it over anything inferred.
- The continent grouping from the zone name was dropped: "Asia" next to a
region of "Philippines" reads as two answers to the same question.
- ToolContext takes the place as an injected value, keeping tools.ts free of
Vicinae imports as the module wiring test requires.
