update_cart Doesn't reflects the User Cart

When the update_cart is invoked actually the chat creates another cart and doesn't update /create the current user cart.

Visiting the cart page doesn't return the product, only option to retrieve the cart is via the provided checkout url.

@siddhantbajaj I was thinking about this last week. Instead of creating a new cart we should have the agent do a cart.json requests on the storefront which would return the cart ID for updating.

Then it can use that ID to update cart and it is the same as the storefront one.

I think it's still good having the tool update cart invoked. I Implemented this by:

• if user has a cart token cookie (product added to cart manually) then sends it using the frontend loaded chat.js . Token is written as system prompt.
• if update cart tool is invoked the agent will automatically use the token if exists in the conversation.
• if update cart tool is invoked a new token is set also on the frontend

So basically it's a token ping pong.

The only issue comes when the ai fakes to invoke the tool... and with 3.5 haiku happens quite often...
