+/**
+ * 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

+ * - 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

+ * Manage Note Tool (Consolidated)

+ * This tool consolidates 5 separate note management tools into a single interface:
+ * - read_note_tool (read note content)
+ * - note_creation_tool (create new notes)
+ * - note_update_tool (update existing notes)
+ * - attribute_manager_tool (manage attributes)
+ * - relationship_tool (manage relationships)
+ *
+ * Also removes redundant tools:
+ * - note_summarization_tool (LLMs can do this natively)
+ * - content_extraction_tool (redundant with read)

+ * instead of camelCase used in legacy tools (noteId, parentNoteId).
+ * This follows JSON/OpenAPI conventions and is more standard for LLM tool schemas.

-/**
- * Pipeline Adapter - Phase 1 Implementation
- *
- * Provides a unified interface for both legacy and V2 pipelines:
- * - Feature flag to switch between pipelines
- * - Translates between different input/output formats
- * - Enables gradual migration without breaking changes
- * - Provides metrics comparison between pipelines
- *
- * Usage:
- *   import pipelineAdapter from './pipeline_adapter.js';
- *   const response = await pipelineAdapter.execute(input);
- *
- * The adapter automatically selects the appropriate pipeline based on:
- * 1. Environment variable: USE_LEGACY_PIPELINE=true/false
- * 2. Option in input: useLegacyPipeline: true/false
- * 3. Default: V2 pipeline (new architecture)
