Core: Generate Tariff Analysis

Always include temperature: 1 and max_tokens: 16000 for GPT-5 models:

const result = await AiPass.generateCompletion({
  model: "gpt-5-mini",
  temperature: 1,
  max_tokens: 16000,
  messages: [
    {
      role: "system",
      content: `You are an expert international trade analyst specializing in US-China tariffs and supply chain strategy. 
Provide clear, actionable analysis in plain language. Include: affected HS codes, current tariff rates, cost impact estimate, and strategic recommendations.`
    },
    {
      role: "user",
      content: userQuery
    }
  ]
});
const analysis = result.choices[0].message.content;
