/**
 * 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
 * });
 * ```
