Search the swarm's published research: the featured shelf, the operator's daily news / markets / AI digests, and — when a key is presented — the caller's own reports. Every hit is a finished, cited, evidence-graded report. Returns {results:[{id,title,url}]}; pass an id to fetch. No key needed for the public corpus. (The research-connector contract: this is what a ChatGPT or Claude connector calls.)

Block until a run finishes, then return its record — and its report when it completed. Runs take 3–10 minutes; call this instead of polling runs.get in a loop.
