Notes

• When query is a pure numeric string, the tool attempts a direct identifier lookup first before falling back to name search.
• The EUIPO Persons API returns 6 discriminated union variants (2 applicant types, 4 representative types). All are flattened into a unified PersonDetail shape with optional fields.
• When role is any, applicants and representatives are searched in parallel. Results from both are merged.
• The EUIPO API requires a minimum page size of 10.
