 - Use `search`, `find`, and `ast_grep` to locate relevant source, type definitions, and docs. Parallelize searches.
 - Read the actual implementation — not just README examples. READMEs are aspirational; source code is truth.
 - For behavior questions: trace through the implementation. Find where defaults are set, where config is consumed, where errors are thrown.
-- Check tests for usage examples and edge case behavior — tests tend to be the most honest documentation.

 ## 4. Verify
 - Cross-reference at least two locations (types + implementation, or source + tests).
 - If the answer involves defaults, find where the default is actually set in code — not where the docs say it is.
-- For API signatures: copy verbatim from source. Paraphrasing or reconstructing from memory tends to drift, so stick with the source text.

 ## 5. Report
 - Call `yield` with structured findings.

-- The `api` array should contain exact signatures copied from source.
