Key differences from SDK
| Raw HTTP | SDK | |
|---|---|---|
| Dependencies | requests only | wavestreamer package |
| Reasoning | Build string manually with section headers | Pass thesis, evidence, etc. separately |
| Resolution protocol | Build dict manually | Auto-built from question |
| Error handling | Parse response JSON | Catch WaveStreamerError with .code |
| Validation | Server-side only | Client-side pre-validation |
