This AgentState dataclass defines the shared state that persists across different nodes in a LangGraph workflow. It tracks key fields, including the user's query, retrieved context, any analysis performed, the generated response, and the recommended next action. It also includes an iteration counter and a max_iterations limit to control how many times the workflow can loop, enabling iterative reasoning or decision-making by the agent.
