- Added comprehensive Strands section to 5_agent_frameworks.ipynb
- Includes basic Strands agent creation with LiteLLM integration
- Demonstrates tool integration with built-in calculator and custom tools
- Shows abstraction layer for platform interoperability
- Updated introduction to mention CrewAI and Strands frameworks
- Updated conclusion to reflect 3 implemented frameworks
- Provides educational examples for students learning agent frameworks

The Strands section follows the same pattern as LangChain and PydanticAI
sections, showing how different frameworks can be used with consistent
abstractions while maintaining their unique strengths.
Core Implementation:
- strands_agent.py: Main agent wrapper integrating Strands with platform
  * Uses StrandsAgentWrapper class for platform abstraction
  * Integrates with MemoryGatewayClient for conversation management
  * Routes through LiteLLMGatewayClient for model access
  * Handles AgenticRequest/AgenticResponse format conversion
  * Supports tool integration and session management

- strands_agent_controller.py: Request handling controller
  * Follows same pattern as existing DIY and PydanticAI agents
  * Lazy-loads agent instance for performance
  * Pre-configured with retrieval, weather, and calculator tools
  * Provides clean invoke() interface for FastAPI integration

- server.py: FastAPI web server
  * Standard /invoke endpoint for agent requests
  * /health endpoint for Kubernetes health checks
  * Proper middleware and error handling
  * Follows exact same pattern as other agent servers

- requirements.txt: Dependencies for Strands integration
  * strands-agents[litellm] for core framework
  * strands-agents-tools for built-in tools
  * FastAPI and uvicorn for web server

- README.md: Comprehensive documentation
  * Architecture overview and usage instructions
  * Local development and EKS deployment guides
  * API endpoint documentation and configuration details

This implementation ensures the Strands agent integrates seamlessly
with the existing agentic platform while maintaining Strands'
simplicity and native LiteLLM integration capabilities.
Docker Configuration:
- docker/strands-agent/Dockerfile: Multi-stage container build
  * Uses Python 3.12.10-alpine3.21 base image for security and size
  * Builder stage installs dependencies from requirements.txt
  * Server stage copies source code with proper ownership
  * Non-root user (appuser) for security best practices
  * Exposes port 8000 for FastAPI server
  * PYTHONPATH configured for proper module resolution
  * CMD runs uvicorn server with Strands agent application

Kubernetes Configuration:
- k8s/helm/values/applications/strands-agent-values.yaml: Helm values
  * Follows exact same pattern as existing agent deployments
  * Configured for 'agentic-platform-strands-agent' container image
  * ClusterIP service with port 80 -> 8000 mapping
  * Ingress enabled with '/strands-agent' path routing
  * Resource limits: 100m CPU request, 256Mi-512Mi memory
  * Service account with IRSA configuration for AWS permissions
  * Environment variables for gateway endpoint discovery
  * Default endpoints for LiteLLM, Memory, and Retrieval gateways

This deployment configuration enables the Strands agent to be deployed
to EKS using the existing deployment scripts:
- ./deploy/build-container.sh strands-agent
- ./deploy/deploy-application.sh strands-agent --build

The configuration ensures proper integration with the platform's
service mesh, ingress routing, and AWS IAM permissions.
Test Infrastructure:
- tests/strands_agent/__init__.py: Package initialization
  * Defines test suite version and metadata
  * Documents test categories and usage patterns

- tests/strands_agent/test_strands_agent.py: Structural validation tests
  * test_file_structure(): Validates all required files exist
  * test_python_syntax(): Checks Python syntax validity using AST parsing
  * test_imports_structure(): Verifies required imports are present
  * test_class_structure(): Validates class methods and structure
  * test_docker_structure(): Checks Dockerfile configuration
  * test_requirements(): Validates dependencies in requirements.txt
  * All 6 tests pass, ensuring code structure integrity

- tests/strands_agent/test_strands_api.py: Live API endpoint tests
  * test_health_endpoint(): Validates /health endpoint functionality
  * test_invoke_endpoint(): Tests /invoke with sample AgenticRequest
  * test_weather_tool(): Validates weather tool integration
  * Supports both local (localhost:8000) and remote URL testing
  * Comprehensive error handling and response validation

- tests/strands_agent/run_tests.py: Automated test runner
  * Runs structural tests first (always required)
  * Auto-detects if agent is running for API tests
  * Supports remote URL testing for deployed agents
  * Provides detailed test summary and next steps
  * Smart skipping of unavailable tests with clear instructions

- tests/strands_agent/README.md: Complete testing documentation
  * Comprehensive guide covering all testing scenarios
  * Local development, API testing, and EKS deployment testing
  * Troubleshooting guide for common issues
  * Usage examples and success criteria
  * Development workflow and maintenance instructions

Test Coverage:
✅ Code structure and syntax validation
✅ Import statement verification
✅ Class method presence and structure
✅ Docker and Kubernetes configuration
✅ API endpoint functionality
✅ Tool integration testing
✅ Response format validation
✅ Deployment compatibility

This test suite ensures the Strands agent maintains quality and
compatibility with the existing platform while providing clear
validation of all functionality before deployment.
Critical Fix for Production Deployment:
- Changed from StrandsLiteLLMModel to OpenAIModel from strands.models.litellm
- Prevents Bedrock model name conflicts when using LiteLLM proxy
- Uses client_args with api_key and base_url for proper proxy routing
- Removes bedrock/ prefix from model_id to avoid naming conflicts

Technical Details:
- The default LiteLLM SDK has name conflicts with the proxy
- OpenAIModel type is preferred when calling the actual proxy
- This approach has been tested and verified to work with the platform
- Updated both agent implementation and notebook examples

Updated Files:
- strands_agent.py: Fixed model initialization with OpenAIModel
- 5_agent_frameworks.ipynb: Updated notebook example
- test_strands_agent.py: Updated import validation
- requirements.txt: Kept strands-agents[litellm] dependency

This fix ensures the Strands agent will work correctly with the
actual LiteLLM proxy URL in production deployment.
- Remove duplicate README.md from agent directory
- Keep comprehensive documentation in tests/strands_agent/README.md
- Clean up implementation summary files
- All tests passing (logic: 3/3, runtime: 4/4, structural: 6/6)
- Production-ready with complete EKS deployment configuration
- Dual proxy/SDK configuration support working correctly
