+     * is functionally equivalent to {@code "auto"} (the server defaults to auto-pick).
+     * Stripping the explicit literal {@code "auto"}:

+     *       still default to auto when tools are present</li>
+     *   <li>unblocks strict OpenAI-compatible self-hosted serving frameworks that reject
+     *       {@code tool_choice="auto"} at request validation time unless launched with an
+     *       auto-tool-choice opt-in flag, which is a common reason custom endpoints
+     *       respond with a generic 400 / "body=None" Pydantic error</li>
+     * </ul>
+     *
+     * <p>Explicit values other than {@code "auto"} ({@code "none"}, {@code "required"},
+     * or a specific function descriptor) are passed through unchanged.
