Engineering-quality cleanups from the SDK review (no behavior change):
- Return-type discoverability: add pageindex/types.py with TypedDicts
(DocumentInfo, DocumentDetail, PageContent) and annotate Collection /
Backend methods with them; add docstrings to every public Collection
method (including the get_page_content `pages` spec). Exported from the
package. Zero runtime cost — these are plain dicts.
- Backend protocol as a real contract:
* query_stream is an async generator, so the protocol now declares it
as `def ... -> AsyncIterator[QueryEvent]` (not `async def`, which
typed it as a coroutine and never matched the implementations).
* custom-parser support is expressed as a runtime_checkable
SupportsParserRegistration capability protocol; the client uses
isinstance(...) instead of hasattr(...) duck-typing.
- Parser layering: move count_tokens into a leaf module pageindex/tokens.py
so parser/* imports it from there instead of reaching back into
pageindex.index (a reverse dependency). index.utils re-exports it for
backward compatibility.
Adds tests/test_architecture.py enforcing: parser never imports index,
count_tokens is a single shared leaf, the capability protocol works,
both backends satisfy Backend, and the TypedDicts are exported.

- AgentRunner.run: offload to a worker-thread event loop when called
from inside a running loop (Jupyter, FastAPI handlers) — mirrors
pipeline._run_async; Runner.run_sync raised RuntimeError there.
- SQLiteStorage: create connections with check_same_thread=False so
close() can actually close connections created by worker threads.
Each thread still gets its own connection via threading.local; with
the default True those closes raised ProgrammingError (silently
swallowed) and leaked every worker connection.
- CloudBackend.query: non-streaming chat completions now use a 300s
timeout and a single attempt. The default 30s ReadTimeout fired
before generation finished and the retry loop re-billed the full
server-side retrieval + generation up to three times. _request gains
retries/timeout overrides; the exhausted-retry path also no longer
sleeps before raising.
- MarkdownParser: content before the first heading (abstract/preamble)
becomes a node instead of being silently dropped and unretrievable;
a file with no headings at all yields a single document node instead
of zero nodes (which pushed an empty page list into the pipeline).
- LegacyCloudAPI.is_retrieval_ready: API failures (revoked key, network
down) now propagate as PageIndexAPIError instead of reading as
"not ready", which turned polling loops into infinite loops.
Adds regression tests for each fix.
