Research
Overview
Investigate the real-world facts a story depends on and keep them in
research/ notes: the question, a search plan, the findings with a
citation for each, how confident the finding is, and the chapters that
rely on them. Research is active work, not only a ledger: form precise
questions, go to primary sources where they exist, interview people and
visit places, and record what was found in a form a later fact-check can
retrace.
The CLI tracks each note's status (open, verified, disputed), its
used-in chapters, and the optional accuracy, confidence, method,
risk, and reviewed-by fields. It checks the chapter links, warns when a
final chapter still rests on research that is open or disputed, and warns
when a risky note reaches a final chapter without a qualified reviewer.
