user_profile_always.py
"""
User Profile: Always Mode
=========================
User Profile captures structured profile fields about users:
- Name and preferred name
- Custom profile fields (when using extended schemas)
ALWAYS mode extracts profile information automatically in parallel
while the agent responds - no explicit tool calls needed.
Compare with: 1b_user_profile_agentic.py for explicit tool-based updates.
See also: 2a_user_memory_always.py for unstructured observations.
