The result of the function

Example

// Simple usage with just a name
const summary = await withExecution("Summarize Context", async () => {
  return model.generate(summarizePrompt);
});

// With options
const result = await withExecution({
  name: "Validate Response",
  type: "validation",
  metadata: { validator: "schema" },
}, async () => {
  return validateSchema(response);
});

// In a hook
onAfterCompile: async (ctx) => {
  await withExecution("Context Compaction", async () => {
    const summary = await model.generate(compactPrompt);
    ctx.updateContext(summary);
  });
}
