+/**
+ * Example 14 — Multi-Source Research Aggregation
+ *
+ * Demonstrates runTasks() with explicit dependency chains:
+ * - Parallel execution: three analyst agents research the same topic independently
+ * - Dependency chain via dependsOn: synthesizer waits for all analysts to finish
+ * - Automatic shared memory: agent output flows to downstream agents via the framework
+ *
+ * Compare with example 07 (fan-out-aggregate) which uses AgentPool.runParallel()
+ * for the same 3-analysts + synthesizer pattern. This example shows the runTasks()
+ * API with explicit dependsOn declarations instead.
+ *
+ * Flow:
+ *   [technical-analyst, market-analyst, community-analyst] (parallel) → synthesizer
+ *
+ * Run:
+ *   npx tsx examples/14-research-aggregation.ts
+ *
+ * Prerequisites:
+ *   ANTHROPIC_API_KEY env var must be set.
