+/**
+ * Knoxis Interactive Pair Programming
+ *
+ * Multi-turn pair programming with Groq acting as your pair programmer
+ * (reviewing plans, answering questions, giving feedback) between
+ * Claude Code coding phases.
+ *
+ * Flow:
+ *   Phase 1: Claude reads codebase + creates implementation plan
+ *   Knoxis (Groq): Reviews plan, answers questions, approves/adjusts
+ *   Phase 2: Claude implements with feedback applied
+ *   Knoxis (Groq): Reviews implementation, flags issues
+ *   Phase 3: Claude addresses feedback + verifies build
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ *   KNOXIS_TASK_FILE=/tmp/task.txt node knoxis-interactive-pair.js
+ *   node knoxis-interactive-pair.js "add a health check endpoint"
+ *
+ * Env:
+ *   GROQ_API_KEY           - Required for Knoxis feedback (falls back to single-shot without it)
+ *   KNOXIS_TASK_FILE       - Path to file containing the task description
+ *   KNOXIS_GROQ_MODEL      - Groq model (default: llama-3.3-70b-versatile)
+ *   KNOXIS_MAX_PHASE_MS    - Max time per Claude phase in ms (default: 600000 = 10min)
+ *
+ * ZERO EXTERNAL DEPENDENCIES - uses only Node.js built-in modules
