"""
Result Override with MiddlewareTypes (Regular and Streaming)

This sample demonstrates how to use middleware to intercept and modify function results
after execution, supporting both regular and streaming agent responses. The example shows:

- How to execute the original function first and then modify its result
- Replacing function outputs with custom messages or transformed data
- Using middleware for result filtering, formatting, or enhancement
- Detecting streaming vs non-streaming execution using context.stream
- Overriding streaming results with custom async generators

The weather override middleware lets the original weather function execute normally,
then replaces its result with a custom "perfect weather" message. For streaming responses,
it creates a custom async generator that yields the override message in chunks.
