Why this page exists

This example is shown as both real source code and a product-facing interaction pattern so learners can connect implementation, UX, and doctrine without leaving the library.

How should this example be used in the platform?

Use the sandbox to understand the experience pattern first, then inspect the source to see how the product boundary, model boundary, and doctrine boundary are actually implemented.

UX pattern: Context-backed research with explicit evidence
Apply progressive disclosure to system agency
Expose meaningful operational state, not internal complexity
Establish trust through inspectability

What should the learner inspect in the code?

Look for the exact place where system scope is bounded: schema definitions, prompt framing, runtime configuration, and the call site that turns user intent into a concrete model or workflow action.

Look for output contracts and validation
Look for the exact execution call
Look for what the product could expose to the user
How does the sandbox relate to the source?

The sandbox should make the UX legible: what the user sees, what the system is deciding, and how the result becomes reviewable. The source then shows how that behavior is actually implemented.

Enter a question or load a sample query.
Run the search or retrieval step.
Review the final brief with sources and retrieved context.
SandboxContext-backed research with explicit evidence
Research brief lab

This sandbox shows how a search or retrieval request should expose query planning, retrieved context, and the final answer.

UX explanation

The user should not only see a final answer. The product should reveal what was searched, what context shaped the response, and where the system boundary stops.

AI design explanation

These examples combine retrieval, web search, or file context with a synthesis step. The best surface exposes search plan, useful evidence, and a reviewable output.

Interaction walkthrough

  1. 1Enter a question or load a sample query.
  2. 2Run the search or retrieval step.
  3. 3Review the final brief with sources and retrieved context.
