-- **retriever** (only when `--doc` paths are given) — chunks and embeds
-  user-supplied documents with a dedicated embedding model, then retrieves
-  the excerpts most relevant to the topic once up front and folds them into
-  the researcher's task, cited with the same footnote scheme as web sources.
 - **researcher** — a tool-calling agent (`search_web`, `fetch_page`) that
   gathers and cross-checks evidence, capped at a fixed model-call budget so
   a confused model can't loop forever.
