time_horizon String Analysis window (e.g., "6 months"). Default: "6 months".
identify_archetypes Boolean Identify system archetypes (e.g., "Limits to Growth"). Default: true.
analyze_emergent_behavior Boolean Analyze system-level patterns and unintended consequences. Default: true.
focus_areas List<String> Subsystems to prioritize in the analysis.
related_files List<String> Additional files for context (read-only).
analysis_questions List<String> Specific questions to answer about the system.
