Research direction

Start by inspecting the Microsoft.Extensions.AI.OpenAI package dependency metadata and the project file that defines its OpenAI version. Verify why the dependency is constrained below 2.13.0, then update the constraint if unintended. Done means the NuGet package permits the recommended OpenAI version without blocking updates.
