+/**
+ * Simplified Pipeline V2 - Phase 1 Implementation
+ *
+ * This pipeline reduces complexity from 8 stages to 3 essential stages:
+ * 1. Message Preparation (system prompt + context if needed)
+ * 2. LLM Execution (provider call + tool handling loop)
+ * 3. Response Formatting (clean output)
+ *
+ * Key improvements over original pipeline:
+ * - 60% reduction in lines of code (from ~1000 to ~400)
+ * - Eliminates unnecessary stages (semantic search, model selection, etc.)
+ * - Consolidates tool execution into LLM execution stage
+ * - Clearer control flow and error handling
+ * - Better separation of concerns
+ *
+ * Design principles:
+ * - Keep it simple and maintainable
+ * - Use existing tool registry (no changes to tools in Phase 1)
+ * - Backward compatible with existing options
+ * - Feature flag ready for gradual migration

+ *
+ * Key features:
+ * - Ollama: Max 3 tools (local models struggle with >5 tools)
+ * - OpenAI/Anthropic: All 4 tools (or query-filtered)
+ * - Query-based filtering: Analyze intent to select most relevant tools
+ * - Configurable: Can be disabled via options
+ *
+ * Design philosophy:
+ * - Better to give LLM fewer, more relevant tools than overwhelming it
+ * - Local models (Ollama) need more aggressive filtering
+ * - Cloud models (OpenAI/Anthropic) can handle full tool set
