"""
Intent classification helpers used by the agent router.

This module is intentionally rule-based (regex + fuzzy topic-name matching)
rather than LLM-based, since the LLM provider abstraction (llm/) hasn't
been wired in yet. It's isolated behind plain functions so it can be
swapped for an LLM-based classifier later without changing router.py's
interface — router.py only calls extract_topics(), is_comparison_query(),
and is_followup_query().

No keyword-based *retrieval* happens here — this only decides ROUTING.
Actual knowledge retrieval is always embedding-based (see rag/retriever.py).
