# Research

Use this route when the answer depends on a specific source, current information,
or uncertain technical detail. Define the question and decision it will support.
Prefer primary documentation, source code, direct measurements, or supplied
materials. Check freshness when the subject can change.

Separate quotations and observed facts from inference. Cite the source near each
material claim and state important uncertainty or missing evidence. Do not turn
research into implementation, configuration changes, purchases, or external writes
unless separately requested.

Finish when the question is answered with enough evidence for the requested
decision, or explain precisely what evidence is unavailable.
