"""
qa.py — Evidence-grounded local RAG Q&A for Paper2Lab.

This module returns extractive answers with evidence and source locations.
It does not call an LLM. Nemotron can later rewrite the answer using the same evidence.

Design:
- Classify the question into a small intent taxonomy.
- Retrieve evidence with FAISS through indexer.py.
- Synthesize answers using intent-specific extractive logic.
- Avoid hardcoding known dataset names; discover entities from local evidence.
