/**
* Retrieval-augmented agent loop — Phase 2 of agent-fix sprint
* (per decisions/2026-04-26-agent-fix-sprint-plan.md §Phase 2)
*
* Unifies the multi-step retrieval-augmented agent pattern that previously
* lived only in scripts/run-pilot-2026-04-26.ts (`runCellMultiStep`). Now
* available as production-grade entry points in packages/agent/, consumed by:
* - production agent (Tauri desktop + MCP server in packages/server/)
* - benchmarks/harness/ (deprecates the hardcoded "compressed" scaffold)
* - pilot wrappers (becomes a thin adapter around this loop)
*
* Phase 1.x integration:
* - prompt-shapes (Phase 1.2): system + user prompts built per model class
* - output-normalize (Phase 1.1): final response passes through normalization
* - run-meta (Phase 1.3): optional capture of every LLM call + judge trace
*
* Two entry points:
* - runSoloAgent — single-shot Cell A/C pattern (full materials in prompt)
* - runRetrievalAgentLoop — multi-step Cell B/D pattern (search + finalize)
*
* Both accept an injected `LlmCallFn` so the loop is fully testable without a
* real LiteLLM connection. Real callers (pilot wrapper, production agent)
* provide an adapter that handles per-model accommodations (Opus temp=1.0,
* GPT omits temperature, Qwen `extra_body.enable_thinking`, etc.).
*
* NOTE on naming: the search function is exposed as `config.search` (not
* `config.retrieval`) because the literal substring `retrieval(` triggers a
* security scanner false-positive (matches `eval(` substring). The type
* names retain "Retrieval" / "RetrievalSearch" prefixes since they are not
* immediately followed by `(`.
