The explainable agent framework — backtrack a wrong answer to the exact context that caused it (evidence, not guesses). Built on footprintjs.

/**
 * Debate — two agents alternate proposing + critiquing, a judge decides.
 *
 * Paper: "Improving Factuality and Reasoning in Language Models through
 *        Multiagent Debate" — Du et al., 2023
 *        (https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.14325).
 *
 * Pattern: Factory → produces a `Runner` built from
 *          `Sequence(Proposer → Critic → Judge)` by default, or an
 *          iterated `Loop(Sequence(…))` when `rounds > 1`.
 * Role:    patterns/ layer.
 * Emits:   Everything Sequence + Loop + LLMCall emit.
