Track; not yet

Why
Strong peer-reported accuracy gains (MuSiQue 52.8%->74.1%) at comparable-or-lower token cost, but it is a Feb-2026 research artifact with no frontier-model validation, heavy backbone dependence, no production track record, and added agentic latency.
Next
Run the released MIT eval suite against our own multi-hop corpus on a GPT-5-mini-class backbone to see if the keyword+semantic+chunk-read hierarchical interface beats our current single-shot retriever before any integration.
