Build extraction pipelines that branch on length rather than always chunking. Below a threshold (say 30K chars), run the extraction prompt directly. Above it, split into chunks, extract per chunk, then consolidate partial outputs into one coherent result. The branching prevents needless overhead on short content while handling arbitrarily long content without truncation or context-overflow errors.
