Component overview for Lifecycle & Configuration Management focusing on Operational Mode Manager and Event Hooks System

Components

Operational Mode Manager

This component defines and manages the various operational modes (`instructor.mode.Mode`) that dictate how the `instructor` library interacts with different AI models. It centralizes the strategy for formatting requests (e.g., using tools, functions, or JSON mode) and interpreting responses, ensuring `instructor` adapts to diverse model capabilities and use cases.

Event Hooks System

This component provides a flexible and extensible event dispatching system, allowing users and internal components to register custom callback functions (`Handlers`) at predefined points (`instructor.hooks.HookName`s) within the AI interaction lifecycle. It enables observability, debugging, and behavior modification without altering core library logic.
