refactor(knowledge-extraction): convert questioner and answerer to createRole four-tuple

- questioner: createRole(adapter, questionerPrompt, schema, extract) + queue short-circuit + meta post-processing
- answerer: createRole(adapter, answererPrompt, schema, extract) + empty-questions short-circuit
- build.ts: use createLlmAdapter(extract.provider) as default LLM adapter for questioner/answerer
