## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): The durable model wrapper is bound at construction; streaming is not supported by the integration.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Other error fragments:
    - RestateAgent does not support run_stream currently.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/restatedev/sdk-python/ad4ea7c0a60b5745681a809fe57656bec0939c38/python/restate/ext/pydantic/_agent.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): RestateAgent raises TerminalError when no model is set and UserError for run_stream.

    Search phrasings: RestateAgent does not support run_stream; restate pydantic ai agent needs to have a model
