-### Session-aware Memory
+### Memory and Flow State
 
 #### CrewAI Crews
 
-Session scoped memory is implemented using the `LongTermMemory` interface in CrewAI. If you wish to share memories between agents, you must interact with them in the same session to share long term memory so they can search and access the previous conversation history (because agent ID is volatile, we must use session ID). You can enable this by setting `memory=True` when creating your CrewAI crew. Note that this memory is also scoped by user ID so different users will not see each other's memories.
-
-Our KAgent backend is designed to handle long term memory saving and retrieval with the identical logic as `LTMSQLiteStorage` which is used by default for `LongTermMemory` in CrewAI, with the addition of session and user scoping. It will search the LTM items based on the task description and return the most relevant items (sorted and limited).
-
-> Note that when you set `memory=True`, you are responsible to ensure that short term and entity memory are configured properly (e.g. with `OPENAI_API_KEY` or set your own providers). The KAgent CrewAI integration only handles long term memory.
+`KAgentApp` does not configure or persist CrewAI memory. Configure CrewAI memory and its backing storage explicitly when your application needs it.
 
 #### CrewAI Flows
 
-In flow mode, we implement memory similar to checkpointing in LangGraph so that the flow state is persisted to the KAgent backend after each method finishes execution. We consider each session to be a single flow execution, so you can reuse state within the same session by enabling `@persist()` for flow or methods. We do not manage `LongTermMemory` for crews inside a flow since flow is designed to be very customizable. You are responsible for implementing your own memory management for all the crew you use in the flow.
+`KAgentApp` creates a Flow instance for each A2A request. It does not persist Flow state or restore it for later requests. Configure persistence in your Flow application when needed.

-## Session Management
+## Task and Conversation State
 
-Sessions persist conversation history in KAgent backend:
+`build()` persists public A2A task history through `KAgentTaskStore` and the
+controller gRPC API. It does not configure an OpenAI Agents SDK session, so
+framework-level conversation state is not persisted automatically.
 
-```python
-from agents.agent import Agent
-from agents.run import Runner
-from kagent.openai._session_service import KAgentSession
-import httpx
-
-client = httpx.AsyncClient(base_url="http://localhost:8083")
-session = KAgentSession(
-    session_id="conversation_123",
-    client=client,
-    app_name="my-agent",
-)
-
-agent = Agent(name="Assistant", instructions="Be helpful")
-result = await Runner.run(agent, "Hello!", session=session)
-```
+Applications that need durable framework-level conversation state must configure
+an OpenAI Agents SDK session explicitly. There is no Kagent REST session client
+in this package.

 ## Features

-- LangGraph state management with KAgent checkpointer
-- A2A protocol compatibility
-- Session persistence via KAgent REST API
+- Currency conversion using OpenAI and the Frankfurter API
+- LangGraph state checkpointing with `SqliteSaver`

 ```
 
+The startup regression test invokes `main()` with the server runner mocked and
+checks `GET /health`. It does not cover port binding, container startup,
+OpenAI-backed execution, A2A requests, or checkpoint reuse after restart.
+
 ## Architecture
 
 This agent demonstrates:
 
-- **StateGraph**: Simple conversation flow with one node
-- **SqliteSaver**: Stores conversation state in a local SQLite file
-- **A2A Integration**: Compatible with KAgent's agent-to-agent protocol
-- **Streaming**: Real-time response streaming via A2A events
+- **StateGraph**: A ReAct conversation graph with a currency tool
+- **SqliteSaver**: Stores LangGraph conversation state in a local SQLite file
+- **A2A Integration**: Serves the graph through KAgent's A2A application wrapper
+- **Streaming**: Emits graph execution updates as A2A events
 
-The agent stores conversation history in `KAGENT_CHECKPOINT_DB` (default: `/tmp/currency-checkpoints.sqlite`). Mount a persistent volume and point the variable there for persistence across pod replacement.
+The agent stores LangGraph checkpoints in `KAGENT_CHECKPOINT_DB` (default: `/tmp/currency-checkpoints.sqlite`). Mount a persistent volume and point the variable there to retain checkpoints across pod replacement. A2A task tracking inside the agent process remains in memory.
 
 ## Configuration
 
-The agent can be configured via environment variables:
-
 - `OPENAI_API_KEY`: Required for OpenAI API access
+- `KAGENT_CHECKPOINT_DB`: SQLite checkpoint path (default: `/tmp/currency-checkpoints.sqlite`)
 - `PORT`: Server port (default: 8080)
 - `HOST`: Server host (default: 0.0.0.0)

+# HITL Tools LangGraph Agent
+
+This sample serves a LangGraph workflow with human-in-the-loop tool approval

+
+## Local Startup
+
+From `python/`, provide `/config/config.json`, set the OpenAI API key, and run
+the installed entry point:
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key
+uv run --package hitl-tools hitl-tools
+```
+
+The runtime file must define `control_plane_url`, `gateway_url`, `name`, and
+`namespace`. The wrapper uses the control-plane endpoint for public A2A task
+history. `GET /health` is available on port 8080.
+
+## Validation
+
+The repository validates package importability, ASGI application construction,
+and the health endpoint. It does not validate container startup, live A2A
+requests, OpenAI-backed execution, deployment, or durable checkpoint behavior.

+# Basic OpenAI Agent
+
+This sample serves an OpenAI Agents SDK agent through `kagent-openai`'s A2A
+application wrapper.
+
+## Local Startup
+
+From `python/`, provide `/config/config.json`, set the OpenAI API key, and run
+the installed entry point:
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key
+uv run --package basic-openai-agent basic-openai-agent
+```
+
+The runtime file must define `control_plane_url`, `gateway_url`, `name`, and
+`namespace`. The wrapper uses the control-plane endpoint for public A2A task
+history. `GET /health` is available on port 8080.
+
+## Validation
+
+The repository validates package importability, ASGI application construction,
+and the health endpoint. It does not validate container startup, live A2A
+requests, OpenAI-backed execution, deployment, or durable conversation state.
