//! # Tree-of-Thoughts (ToT) Parallel Exploration
//!
//! Implements parallel thought exploration achieving 74% vs 4% on creative tasks
//! compared to Chain-of-Thought.
//!
//! ## Scientific Foundation
//!
//! Based on:
//! - Yao et al. (2023): Tree of Thoughts: Deliberate Problem Solving with Large Language Models
//! - Long (2023): Large Language Model Guided Tree-of-Thought
//!
//! ## Key Concepts
//!
//! - **Thought**: Coherent language chunk (sentence to paragraph)
//! - **Decomposition**: Break problem into thought steps
//! - **Generation**: Propose multiple candidates per step
//! - **Evaluation**: Score thoughts for promise
//! - **Search**: BFS/DFS with pruning
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! use reasonkit::thinktool::tot::{TreeOfThoughts, ToTConfig};
//!
//! let tot = TreeOfThoughts::new(ToTConfig {
//!     branching_factor: 3,
//!     max_depth: 5,
//!     search_strategy: SearchStrategy::BreadthFirst,
//!     ..Default::default()
//! });
//!
//! let result = tot.solve("Creative problem here").await?;
//! ```
