## Summary

<One or two sentences naming what was investigated, why it matters, and the most
important current conclusion or state.>

## Question

<State the durable investigation question. Make it specific enough that a future
agent can tell what answer this record is trying to support.>

## Scope

<Describe what this research covers and excludes. Name relevant source paths,
records, systems, versions, environments, options, assumptions, and freshness
limits when they matter.>

## Method And Sources

<Explain how the investigation was grounded. Include source paths, record IDs,
commands, external sources, experiments, operator input, or source-artifact paths
as needed. Add provenance, version, freshness, or trust notes when they affect the
conclusion.>

- <source path, URL, record ID, artifact path, or description> - <what it
  contributed; add provenance, freshness, or trust limits when material>

## Findings

<Record what the investigation found before interpreting it. Separate sourced or
observed facts from conclusions. Cite evidence records when an observation needs
durable inspectable support.>

## Tradeoffs

<Use when comparing meaningful options, variants, hypotheses, libraries,
strategies, or implementation routes. Remove this section if no real comparison
exists.>

- <option or hypothesis> - <evidence-backed strength; weakness, risk, or limit;
  downstream consequence>

## Rejected Paths And Null Results

<Record paths considered or tried that future agents should not rediscover. Say
what rejected them and what to do instead when known. Remove this section if none
are useful.>

- <path or attempt> - rejected by <evidence, constraint, conflict, or result>

## Conclusions

<State only the conclusions justified by the findings. Name confidence, limits,
assumptions, freshness risks, and recheck triggers when relevant.>

## Recommendations

<Name what should consume this research next. Route intended behavior to specs,
bounded execution to tickets, multi-ticket strategy to plans, durable judgment to
constitution, observations to evidence, adversarial review to audit, and settled
explanation to knowledge.>

## Open Questions

<Name remaining uncertainty. Keep this short. Split into a new research record
only when a question becomes independently actionable or would bloat this record.>

## Related Records

<Optional. Add records or paths that materially help future agents interpret this
research. Remove this section if none are useful.>

- <record-id or path> - <why it matters>
