## Title

    [PydanticAI v2] Upgrade breaks: unexpected keyword 'result_type', Unknown model without provider prefix, cannot import OpenAIModel

## Body

    Cause (Maintainer-confirmed cause): V2 renamed result_* parameters to output/retries forms, requires provider-prefixed model names, renamed model classes (OpenAIModel, GeminiModel, MCPServerStdio), and no longer installs all provider extras by default.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Unknowns:
    - Exact v2 release boundary for each rename not verified.
    
    Other error fragments:
    - UserError: Unknown model: gpt-5.2. Did you mean 'openai-chat:gpt-5.2'?
    - ImportError: cannot import name 'OpenAIModel'
    - ImportError: Please install boto3 to use the Bedrock model
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic-ai/pull/8705 (github_issue, unknown, maintainer_confirmed_cause): Maintainer PR 'Add troubleshooting entries for the errors users actually hit' lists these four v1->v2 upgrade errors with fixes.
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pydantic/pydantic-ai/main/docs/output.md (official_docs, 2026-09-27, documented_behavior): Current docs use output_type and retries={'output': N}.
    
    Search phrasings: pydantic ai v2 migration result_type; pydantic-ai Unknown model did you mean openai-chat; cannot import name OpenAIModel pydantic_ai
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
