+// the decision trace recording it. Then IntentQuery handed the turn to
+// querySources in the daemon, a chain of twenty-two branches deciding by seed
+// similarity in a fixed order, with none of that. So the careful sorter did the
+// easy half and the sloppy one did the hard half: on 2026-08-07 weather claimed
+// "что такое TCP?" and answered "для какого города?", because weather read one
+// percent closer to the turn than the pile of leftover seeds did, and one
+// percent was enough. Search would have answered it and search was never asked.

+// SourceUnknown means nobody decided. The daemon then walks the whole chain in
