Translate a plain-English people search into the canonical PersonFilter contract, execute the existing people list engine, and return both the interpretation and ranked people page. Broad role and profile requests use person semantic search. Explicit filter fields are hard constraints: they override planner values, while the planner fills fields left unset.
