Cercano v0.8.0

New: cercano_deep_research — Multi-Source Research Tool

Give it a topic and intent, and it systematically researches across 25+ sources:

  • Source planning — local model picks relevant sources (PubMed, arXiv, GitHub, Wired, MIT Tech Review, etc.) based on your topic
  • Academic APIs — PubMed and arXiv searched via their free public APIs
  • Site-scoped search — DuckDuckGo with site targeting for everything else
  • Rich analysis — each finding gets a detailed summary with key facts, relevance scoring (1-5 stars), impact rating, and actionable "how to use" notes
  • Reference chasing — discovers cited works from findings and analyzes them too (1-hop, up to 50)
  • Synthesis — executive summary, narrative, contradiction detection, gap analysis, recommended reading order, follow-up suggestions
  • Multi-file output — writes to scratch/research/<topic>/ in your project with README, individual finding files, synthesis, and source plan
  • Crash recovery — checkpoints intermediate state, resumes on retry

The entire pipeline runs locally. The host agent gets only a 4-line summary.
