    URL-level classification against the ContentGraph index. Priced per URL,
    never per token. URLs already in ContentGraph return classifications inline
    in under 50ms (Lookup). URLs not in the index return status `unknown` with a
    `job_id`; workers fetch, embed, and classify within seconds (Live Classify).
    Poll the job for results. Every live result joins the index.
