  description: >
    Nexus turns a set of sources into a queryable, self-improving knowledge
    base. A context is **sources + a manifest**: upload sources, **curate** them
    into a searchable index (curate is explicit — there is no auto-curate), and
    then query the context. The manifest (a single validated JSON document)
    defines how the context indexes, retrieves, and answers.


    Conventions:


      * The `{slug}` path parameter accepts the URL-safe context slug **or**
        its UUID.

      * Contexts return a `ContextResponse` (derived flags), not the raw
        persisted model. Tasks return a `TaskResponse`.

      * Querying is the unified KnowQL Query API: `POST /api/query` runs one
        turn (`ask` in, answer out); multi-turn conversations are **sessions**
        (`GET/DELETE /api/sessions`, `GET /api/queries/{id}`). Read the
        answer from `output[].content[].text`.

      * Tasks are a top-level, project-owned resource at `/api/tasks` —
        they are no longer nested under contexts. Active workflow types are
        `optimize`, `curate`, `search`, `search_cc`, `search_rag`, `explore`,
        `profile`, `import`, `pack`, `restore`.
