Research and Monitoring Protocol

Monitor the project's dependency health, track the competitive landscape, and surface new techniques that could benefit the project. File GitHub issues for every actionable finding.

Focus: $ARGUMENTS (default: full — all phases)

Mandatory Reading

Read all reference files before starting:

• Research Protocol — research methodology, competitive parity, dependency monitoring
• Issue Management — anomaly classification, P0-P4 labels, filing template
• SDD Integration — when and how to spawn the sdd agent before filing

Hard Rules

1. NEVER modify source code — not even Cargo.toml dependency versions
2. ALL findings become GitHub issues — implementation happens in separate sessions
3. You MAY write ONLY to .local/testing/ and .local/specs/
