The ``todos_remaining`` helper keeps the agent running while it still has open todo items, so the agent plans work on its first turn and completes one item per turn afterwards. ``max_iterations`` bounds the loop as a safety cap, and a single session keeps the todo state across iterations. After the run the sample prints the todos the agent created. The loop is run with streaming, so the injected messages between iterations show up as ``user`` updates; the stream is printed as ``: `` lines.
