v2.2.0

2.2.0 (2026-06-04)

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• agents: LlmAgent default model changed from gemini-2.5-flash to gemini-3-flash-preview (a preview model), ahead of the 2026-10-16 gemini-2.5-flash shutdown. Agents without an explicit model= now run on the new preview default; set model="gemini-2.5-flash" to retain prior behavior. DEFAULT_LIVE_MODEL is unchanged. (ad8b6c7)
• interactions: GenAI SDK v2.0.0 support renames the turn-based helpers in interactions_utils.py (e.g. convert_contents_to_turns → convert_contents_to_steps) and moves from "turns" to "steps" terminology. Update any direct callers. (da1d8f1)
