Deliberate branching search over states

Reasoning states form a tree the agent expands and evaluates node-by-node, backtracking from dead ends. Search discipline (BFS or DFS) plus a heuristic evaluator select which branch to grow. Distinct from chain-of-thought by choosing between alternative continuations rather than committing to one.
