/**
* Main research function - the primary API for the @plust/datasleuth package
*
* This function orchestrates the entire research process from query to results.
* It takes a research query, an output schema for validation, and optional
* configuration parameters to customize the research process.
*
* @param input The research configuration object
* @param input.query The research query string (e.g., "Latest advancements in quantum computing")
* @param input.outputSchema A Zod schema defining the structure of the expected output
* @param input.steps Optional array of research steps to use (defaults to standard pipeline if not provided)
* @param input.config Optional configuration for the research pipeline (error handling, timeout, etc.)
* @param input.defaultLLM Optional default language model to use for AI-dependent steps (required if using default steps)
* @param input.defaultSearchProvider Optional default search provider to use for search-dependent steps (required if using default steps)
*
* @returns The research results matching the structure defined by outputSchema
*
* @throws {ConfigurationError} When configuration is invalid (missing required parameters, etc.)
* @throws {ValidationError} When output doesn't match the provided schema
* @throws {BaseResearchError} For other research-related errors
*
* @example
* ```typescript
* import { research } from '@plust/datasleuth';
* import { z } from 'zod';
* import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
* import { google } from '@plust/search-sdk';
*
* // Define your output schema
* const outputSchema = z.object({
* summary: z.string(),
* keyFindings: z.array(z.string()),
* sources: z.array(z.string().url())
* });
*
* // Configure your search provider
* const searchProvider = google.configure({
* apiKey: process.env.GOOGLE_API_KEY,
* cx: process.env.GOOGLE_CX
* });
*
* // Execute research
* const results = await research({
* query: "Latest advancements in quantum computing",
* outputSchema,
* defaultLLM: openai('gpt-4o'),
* defaultSearchProvider: searchProvider
* });
* ```
