## Title

    [pydantic v2] 'Input should have timezone info' (timezone_aware) / 'Input should not have timezone info' (timezone_naive) on AwareDatetime/NaiveDatetime fields fed by LLM tool arguments or API payloa…

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): AwareDatetime requires tzinfo (error type timezone_aware); NaiveDatetime forbids it (timezone_naive). Plain datetime fields accept both, which lets naive values leak into comparisons elsewhere.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Other error fragments:
    - Input should not have timezone info
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pydantic/pydantic/bb6da4cfbb1f559885ea2fa207ec93853bfeac64/docs/errors/validation_errors.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): timezone_aware is raised when a value for an AwareDatetime field lacks timezone info; timezone_naive when a NaiveDatetime value has timezone info.
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pydantic/pydantic-core/383eb95a19433754c0cecf7025b50c26b6d97a36/src/errors/types.rs (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Messages: 'Input should have timezone info' and 'Input should not have timezone info'.
    
    Search phrasings: pydantic AwareDatetime Input should have timezone info; timezone_aware validation error tool arguments; pydantic naive datetime error
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
