Current Behavior

The AI Summary is hidden behind a toggle (off by default). Users must click the toggle to see it, then wait for the LLM to generate a summary.

Options

Default to ON — toggle stays but is checked by default, summary auto-fetches on page load
Remove toggle entirely — always fetch and show the summary inline above results, no special label

Considerations

LLM calls take 2-5 seconds, need graceful loading state
If always-on, every search triggers an LLM call (cost/latency)
Could show a loading skeleton while summary generates
Label "AI Summary" could be removed — just show the synthesized answer naturally

Location

Toggle: templates/library.html lines 192-213, templates/search.html lines 33-57
JS: templates/base.html lines 470-510 (toggleAISummary function)
API: src/web/server.rs lines 2617-2700 (/api/ai-summary endpoint)
