    current_cycle = 0

    async for chunk in engine.query_stream(query):

        # Handle metadata

        if chunk.metadata:

            cycle = chunk.metadata.get("cycle_number", 1)

            confidence = chunk.metadata.get("confidence_score", 0)

            if cycle != current_cycle:

                current_cycle = cycle

                print(f"\n--- Cycle {cycle} (Confidence: {confidence:.2f}) ---")

        # Print content

        print(chunk.content, end="")
