The Techno Optimist

Find technology programs (e.g. Starship, Figure 03, a fusion reactor), companies and frontiers by name or keyword. Use this first when you only have a name or topic; it returns the slugs `get_program` / `get_company` / `get_frontier` take, plus page URLs.

Everything known about one technology program: goal, development stage, current status, next milestone and slips, milestone history, current obstacles, physics limits, how it works, key specs, upcoming events and its most important dated news with source links. Identify it by `frontier` + `program` slugs (from its URL /<frontier>/<program>, or from `search`), or by `company` + `program`.

Survey a whole area of technology: the frontier's fields (with a one-line explainer each) and their programs sorted by importance, with stage and next milestone. Without `frontier` it lists every frontier with its slug. Use `field` to narrow to one field (slugs come back in the result).

}

Recent dated news (tests, launches, funding, delays, papers) with a short summary, the story page and the original source URL. Optionally filter by frontier, company, or program (program needs company or frontier). `sort: top` ranks by importance instead of recency.

A company as context for its programs: what it does, HQ, founding, status/listing, valuation and staff (with dates and provenance), its programs with stage and next milestone, technical approach, open problems, people, recent funding, partners, and its latest news.
