//! `provider-claude` — ClaudeProvider backed by the [cc-sdk] crate.
//!
//! cc-sdk's `llm::query` strips the Claude Code agent layer (tools / hooks /
//! default system prompt) and gives direct LLM access using the user's
//! existing Claude Code subscription. research-rs itself stores no API key.
//!
//! [cc-sdk]: https://crates.io/crates/cc-sdk
