Evaluates bytedance/deer-flow as an autonomous research orchestration
layer for Timmy (issue #1283). Covers agent architecture, API surface,
Ollama/vLLM backend compatibility, MIT license, Docker port analysis
(no conflict with existing stack on port 2026), and full capability
comparison against ResearchOrchestrator.
Recommendation: No-go for full adoption. Selective borrowing recommended:
parallelize ResearchOrchestrator with asyncio.gather, add context trimming,
and revisit MCP tool integration as a follow-up.
