TypeScript implementation of GEPA (Gradient-free Evolution of Prompts and Agents) - Complete port with 100% feature parity

/**
 * Real AxLLM + GEPA Example with Actual AI Usage
 * 
 * This example demonstrates GEPA evolving AxLLM programs with real OpenAI API calls.
 * No mocks - this actually calls the AI and shows real evolution!
 * 
 * Prerequisites:
 * 1. npm install @ax-llm/ax openai
 * 2. Set OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable
 * 
 * Run with: npx tsx examples/axllm-real-ai-example.ts
