+ * Converts OpenAI tool_choice to Anthropic ToolChoice format.
+ *
+ * Maps OpenAI's tool_choice parameter to Anthropic's equivalent format:
+ * - "none" → undefined (Anthropic doesn't have "none", just omit tools)
+ * - "auto" → { type: "auto" }
+ * - "required" → { type: "any" }
+ * - { type: "function", function: { name } } → { type: "tool", name }
+ *
+ * @param toolChoice - OpenAI tool_choice parameter
+ * @param parallelToolCalls - When true, allows parallel tool calls. When false (default), disables parallel tool calls.
+ * @returns Anthropic ToolChoice or undefined if tools should be omitted
+ *
+ * @example
+ * ```typescript
+ * convertOpenAIToolChoiceToAnthropic("auto", false)
+ * // Returns: { type: "auto", disable_parallel_tool_use: true }
+ *
+ * convertOpenAIToolChoiceToAnthropic({ type: "function", function: { name: "get_weather" } })
+ * // Returns: { type: "tool", name: "get_weather", disable_parallel_tool_use: true }
