Multi-Source RAG: Combining Different Content Types
====================================================
In production, agents often need knowledge from multiple sources:
PDFs, web pages, text snippets, and databases.

This example loads content from different source types into the same
knowledge base, demonstrating insert_many with mixed sources.

See also: 02_knowledge_lifecycle.py for managing content over time.
