Let routed CI cache researched reviews too, from one shared policy

#71 removed the offline index and dropped the research gate from `cacheAllowed`
— but only from runLegacyCi. runRoutedCi, which handles every repo that has
adopted routing.jsonc, kept `!rootConfig.research.enabled` and so has been
running a fresh review for every researched PR, for a reason that stopped
existing when the index did. Both gates were added by the same commit (#61) for
the same index reason, so this was a missed half, not a separate constraint.

Caught by the reviewer on the roadmap PR (#72), which claimed the fix had already
landed. Rather than qualify that claim, make it true.

The duplication is the actual defect: one policy written out twice will drift,
and did. `reviewCacheAllowed` in review-cache.ts is now the single definition and
both paths call it, with a unit test pinning each flag and recording that research
is deliberately not among them.

+## Providing context and research capabilities
+
+`@expo/code-review-cli` includes `review-research-mcp` and exposes that one bundled,
+local MCP directly to reviewer and cross-file passes. The agent decides whether an
+external API contract needs research and can either search for an exact symbol or
+fetch an exact supported documentation URL already present in the review context.
+Coordinator, verifier, stack-verifier, and time-critical no-tools passes never receive
+the MCP.
+
+Enable it only in the root config, which CI loads from the PR's trusted base:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "research": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "maxQueries": 8,
+    "resultsPerQuery": 2,
+    "timeoutMs": 30000
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Add a repository Actions secret named `BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY`. The generated
+automatic and command-triggered workflows pass only that search credential to the
+MCP. Expo uses its public documentation search and OkHttp uses its official static
+search index; neither consumes Brave quota.
+
+ECR resolves the MCP entry point inside its own installed package and starts it with
+the current absolute Node executable, so a PR-owned `PATH` entry cannot replace
+either component. Each review gets an owner-only temporary MCP config and append-only
+audit. Claude receives that explicit config under `--strict-mcp-config`, with project
+settings and slash commands disabled; OpenCode receives the same fixed local command.
+
+That command is a wrapper, not the server. Both engines merge a configured MCP `env`
+onto their own environment instead of replacing it, so the declared block alone cannot
+bound the child — the engine's model credential reaches it, and OpenCode additionally
+passes down the runner's whole ambient environment. The wrapper therefore rebuilds the
+environment from an explicit allowlist before starting the server, and loads no parser
+and opens no socket of its own. The server process sees the search key, the call
+bounds, and locale/proxy settings; it never sees a model credential. The Brave
+credential travels the same way and is never added to the model process env.
+
+The MCP bounds the shape, host, and volume of outbound requests. It is not a
+confidentiality boundary: the reviewing model chooses the query terms and URLs, and a
+low-entropy identifier can carry repository-derived data past every check below.
+Enable research only where repository-derived terms may be shared with Brave and the
+documentation providers. Search queries are normalized before
+logging or networking: quoted literals, URLs, email addresses, paths, prose stop
+words, overlong/high-entropy tokens, and unsupported punctuation are removed;
+credential-shaped or secret-labeled input fails closed. The remaining query must be at
+most eight short tokens and either contain an API-like symbol or be a short multi-word
+lowercase concept phrase. Direct URLs must use plain
+HTTPS with no credentials, port, query string, or fragment; suspicious/high-entropy
+path segments fail closed. The fixed provider host/path allowlist and redirect,
+response-size, content-type, and timeout checks still apply after that first gate.
+These deterministic checks greatly reduce accidental exfiltration; they are not a
+proof that every low-entropy string is harmless, so reviewer prompts also forbid
+sending repository text and the review-wide MCP budget defaults to eight calls.
+
+`maxQueries` bounds MCP calls, not network requests. One search selects up to four
+providers, and each issues its own discovery request plus a page fetch per candidate,
+so eight calls can mean roughly thirty discovery requests and over a hundred page
+downloads. Every call therefore reports its own ledger — discovery requests, page
+fetches, redirect hops, total HTTP requests, and elapsed time — and the review log and
+Actions summary report the totals. `timeoutMs` is the MCP's own end-to-end deadline for
+one call, enforced by the server across discovery, redirects, retrieval, and
+extraction; a call that hits it returns what it already has rather than failing. It has
+to live there because OpenCode's `timeout` bounds only tool discovery and Claude
+provides no per-call timeout at all.
+
+For non-Expo providers, discovery sends a fixed, provider-owned `site:` scope plus
+the bounded query to Brave's fixed Web Search endpoint. Search snippets and titles
+are never treated as evidence. ECR independently rejects off-allowlist result URLs,
+manually validates every redirect, fetches a few official pages, verifies content
+types and response sizes, extracts visible documentation text, and returns locally
+ranked bounded passages. Sparse search-engine coverage therefore produces an honest
+empty result rather than a loose guess.
+
+Research is root-only in routed monorepos because it starts a host process; scope
+configs cannot alter its network behavior or limits. Result-cache reuse remains
+disabled while research is enabled because web results and documentation can change
+without a config change.
+
+The fixed provider catalog covers Apple/Android APIs plus SDWebImage, Media3, Glide, OkHttp,
+Kotlin coroutines, Gradle/AGP, Swift concurrency/evolution, platform release/API
+availability, Expo, React Native, Reanimated, Gesture Handler, Screens, and Worklets.
+Queries are short exact symbols plus at most one useful member or behavior term. For
+example, `CameraView barcodeScannerSettings` is useful; a source snippet, import path,
+or natural-language question is not. The MCP publishes the same guidance in its tool
+metadata. An empty result stays empty; it is not replaced with a loose semantic guess.
+The tool metadata also includes an explicit provider map, so the reviewing model can
+distinguish core platform APIs from release notes, dependency-owned documentation,
+build-tool references, and issue-tracker context before choosing a corpus.
+Reviewer instructions require grounding whenever a judgment depends on an externally
+owned API contract, whether the evidence confirms a finding or dismisses a candidate
+as safe; model memory alone is not treated as sufficient for those decisions.
+Native source keeps its platform context: Apple or Android documents the OS contract,
+while an explicit dependency provider documents library-owned behavior. Providers are
+additive when both contracts matter. A path under `packages/expo-*` does not by itself
+route Swift or Kotlin code to Expo's JavaScript documentation.
+
+Direct clients can also call `fetch_platform_doc` with an exact documentation URL.
+The tool infers the narrowest matching provider (or accepts an explicit provider
+hint), then applies the same fixed HTTPS host/path allowlist, manual redirect checks,
+10-second timeout, 5 MB response limit, content-type validation, extraction, and
+passage bounds as search-discovered pages. It returns normalized extracted text, never
+raw HTML or DocC JSON. An optional `query` selects context only within that one page;
+it never broadens discovery. Context expands progressively:
+
+- `focused` returns the best passage plus adjacent passages.
+- `section` (the default) returns a contiguous window of at most 12,000 characters
+  around the best passage.
+- `document` returns at most 20,000 characters of extracted page text and should be
+  used only when the contract is spread across the page.
+
+The response reports returned and original character counts, whether it was truncated,
+the anchor passage id, and bounded available passage ids. Search results also carry
+neighboring passage ids so an agent can recognize when more local context exists. For example,
+`https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/menustyle(_:)` is resolved to
+Apple's DocC JSON and returned with the canonical page URL and API availability.
+
+Every research-enabled review audits each sanitized outbound query and each returned result's
+title, provider, provenance class, and canonical URL. GitHub Actions receives the
+same audit trail in the step summary, while `.runs/reviews.jsonl` keeps the queries
+plus bounded returned passages for short-lived operational inspection. Reviewers
+are instructed to attach `sources` only when documentation materially supports a
+finding. ECR accepts only exact URLs returned during that review, restores canonical
+titles, carries citations through coordination, and renders them below the finding.
+A citation to a URL this review never retrieved is dropped outright. Relatedness is a
+separate, weaker guarantee: a cited finding is escalated to the verifier with the
+audited passage inline, which judges whether that passage actually supports the claim
+and strips the citation when it does not.
+
+Reviewers also emit a bounded `researchDecisions` record only when documentation
+materially confirms a finding candidate or proves one safe. ECR grounds those records
+against the exact MCP audit and discards ungrounded claims. After verification and
+suppression, the log and Actions summary report final findings with citations,
+supported and dismissed candidates, and unique audited results materially used versus
+unused. Counts use canonical URLs rather than passage count, so repeated hits do not
+inflate usefulness.
+
+For a query routed to the `expo` provider, `serve` POSTs the already-sanitized query
+directly to Expo's public Algolia search endpoint and returns canonical
+`docs.expo.dev` hits. The endpoint, application id, and browser-visible search-only
+key are fixed in the package; redirects are rejected; response size, timeout, hit
+count, and returned URL host are bounded.
+
+OkHttp's newly migrated documentation is still sparse in Brave, so its provider
+downloads the fixed official `lysine.dev` static search index, validates and indexes
+it in memory once per MCP process, and rejects any entry outside the existing OkHttp
+allowlist. Brave remains a fallback if that official index is unavailable.
+
+There is no offline index. Every passage a review sees is fetched live from the
+provider allowlist during that review, so evidence is never served from a local
+artifact whose contents ECR cannot vouch for. The crawler, its seed catalog, and
+`research.indexPath` were removed once live discovery replaced them; a config still
+naming `indexPath` fails to parse rather than silently ignoring it.
+Installation-specific provider configuration is intentionally
+deferred: when added, it should follow the trusted root-config model used for agents
+without permitting PR-controlled URLs, commands, or executable parsers. Expo skills
+are complementary, not another search corpus: their pinned procedural guidance can
+later be supplied to review agents as separately labeled trusted context, while
+documentation search continues to return citable API evidence. Dynamic skills or
+instructions retrieved from documentation must never become executable reviewer
+instructions.

 `writeRunLog()` (`src/core/log.ts`) appends one JSON line per run — cost, tokens (run-wide and per bucket), findings, coverage notes, decision — so runs are auditable and cost/latency measurable later. The record deliberately excludes PR title and body text, keeping only `baseRef`/`headRef`, to avoid persisting secrets that might appear in author-controlled text [observed] (`log.ts:13-18`). Findings may quote changed source lines, but only content the review already publishes verbatim in the PR comment.
 
+Each successful reviewer pass may also return a bounded conclusion-only trace: up to three concrete checks and two unresolved questions, with each note capped at 240 characters. Trace parsing is deliberately fail-soft: malformed optional diagnostics are dropped while valid findings from the same response survive, so observability can never create a coverage gap. `runReview()` merges and de-duplicates valid notes per reviewer, sorts reviewer ids, caps both the stored roster and the complete decoded trace (6 KB), labels the result `unverified-model-diagnostics`, and attaches it to `CoordinatorOutput.reviewTrace` only after the decision pipeline finishes. `attachReviewTrace` strips any coordinator-authored value before attaching the engine-built trace; even a malformed injected coordinator value parses as absent rather than failing consolidation. The trace therefore never reaches coordination, verification, suppression, or decision logic. Because the GitHub comment already embeds the full coordinator output as durable state, downstream agents can recover the trace without adding visible review prose or storing raw transcripts and chain-of-thought. The same trace rides the run log for short-lived operational inspection [observed: `schema.ts` `ReviewerTraceNotesSchema`/`ReviewTraceSchema`/`ReviewerOutputSchema`; `review.ts` `mergeTraceNotes`/`buildReviewTrace`/`attachReviewTrace`; `render.ts` embeds the full review].
+
 Observability must never break a review, so both output sinks swallow their own errors: `safeLog` wraps `writeRunLog` and discards any write error [observed] (`review.ts:1269-1275`), and `appendStepSummary` is a no-op outside Actions and swallows append failures [observed] (`step-summary.ts:9-19`). A consequence worth stating: a missing or corrupt run-log entry is therefore **not** an error signal — the log's presence or absence proves nothing about whether the review succeeded.
 
 Finally, `publicFailureReason()` (`src/core/util.ts`) is the only failure text allowed into PR-facing comments [observed] (`util.ts:20-27`; used in `src/commands/ci.ts:176,365,575`). `run()` throws errors of the form `"Command failed: <cmd> <argv>\n<stderr>"`, which embed a subprocess's full command line, its stderr, and absolute runner paths — CI-internal detail of no use to a PR author and exactly what must not leak into an attacker-visible artifact. Those shapes collapse to a generic pointer at the workflow log; the tool's own argv/path-free messages pass through, since they are the actionable ones the fail-fast design means to surface. Every call site still writes the full reason to the job's stderr.

+The JSONL stream makes tool activity observable while the pass runs instead of leaving

+raw assistant text, tool results, grep patterns, and attempted host paths never reach
+the progress or error logs because model output is untrusted and may contain source
+secrets or terminal/log-injection payloads. If a stream ends without a final result,
+or its error result has no explicit message, parsing returns a fixed diagnostic rather
+than falling back to the raw JSONL transcript. The fixed diagnostic carries the child
+exit code and may derive an actionable, fixed category from stderr only when no stream
+was emitted (rejected flags, authentication, or launch failure); arbitrary stderr is
+never copied into logs, and only an explicit final-result error message reaches
+provider-error classification. Every task-specific progress line is tagged with the
+stable agent bucket by the review pipeline, so concurrent passes remain attributable

+## Prior-Review Context
+
+A re-review used to start from nothing. Every pass ran stateless, so the reviewer
+could not tell a second push from a first look, and a finding a maintainer had
+already dismissed came back on the next run in slightly different words — near-
+identical repeats are caught by fingerprint suppression, a reworded re-raise is
+not.
+
+The state to fix that was already in hand. `ReviewState` round-trips the whole
+previous `CoordinatorOutput` — every finding with its file, line, severity and
+category — plus `dismissed`, `feedback` and `pins`, through the reviewer's own PR
+comment on every run [observed] (`src/core/render.ts:ReviewState`). It was
+decoded each run and consulted only afterward, for suppression and reply
+matching. `summarizePriorReview` reduces it to a bounded list, and
+`priorReviewSection` renders that as one fenced block for the reviewer and
+cross-cutting tasks [observed] (`src/core/prior-review.ts`,
+`src/core/prompts.ts:priorReviewSection`). Both CI paths supply it: the
+single-scope run reads the reviewer's comment once and reuses that read for the
+cache check, and a routed run resolves it per scope — from the scope's own comment,
+or, in `single` mode, from the aggregate's `scopes` entry paired with the root's
+dismissal records, keyed by the scope-namespaced fingerprint those records use
+[observed] (`src/commands/ci.ts` `scopePriorReview`).
+
+Carrying status is the part that earns the block. A maintainer's dismissal and an
+author's reply both happen *after* a run ends, so no amount of engine session or
+transcript replay could ever contain them; this channel is the only one that can.
+A pin outranks both, because `/undismiss` is the human's last word that a finding
+still stands [observed] (`src/core/prior-review.ts:statusOf`).
+
+`answered` means the reply actually **cleared** the finding, not that someone
+replied — and the test is `feedbackApplied`, the same predicate the reporter uses,
+injected rather than imported so the two cannot drift [observed]
+(`src/core/prior-review.ts` `replyCleared` parameter; `src/commands/ci.ts` binds it
+to the run's feedback config). This is load-bearing, not tidiness: LLP 0011 floors
+`critical`/`secrets`/`security` in code so no reply can clear them, and a block
+that labelled such a finding "a human replied to this" would hand the reviewer a
+reason to drop it — reinstating, through the prompt, exactly the suppression the
+floors refuse. A quote without the `id:` token, a third-party commenter, and a
+finding a maintainer pinned back all stay `open` for the same reason. Each record
+also goes through `dropStaleVerdict` against the reviewed head first, the same
+rule both merge paths apply [observed] (`src/commands/ci.ts`, `mergeFeedback` in
+`src/reporters/github.ts:178`): a verdict is a claim about SOURCE and
+`fingerprintFinding` excludes the line number, so without it an accepted rebuttal
+from an earlier revision would keep marking a finding answered after the code it
+judged was edited away.
+
+It is untrusted, and treated so. The titles and paths are model output produced
+by reading an untrusted pull request — `stripStateMarkers` exists precisely
+because a forged marker can arrive inside a model-written rationale (see [LLP
+0011](0011-author-feedback.explainer.md)). Each entry is therefore flattened
+through `flattenUntrusted` onto a single line and the assembled block is swept
+for a forged `----- BEGIN/END PREVIOUS REVIEW -----` fence, the same defense the
+context file gets [observed] (`src/core/prompts.ts` `PRIOR_REVIEW_BOUNDARY`).
+
+Two boundaries are deliberate. The **coordinator never receives it**: it merges
+and decides, and handing it the previous decision is how a decision drifts by
+inheritance rather than by evidence. And the wording frames prior findings as
+claims to re-check, never as conclusions to carry forward — a reviewer that
+restates last run's list without re-deriving it has stopped reviewing, and recall
+is the product. The block says so explicitly, including that absence from the
+list means nothing.
+
+It is **not** part of the review-cache key, which is a deliberate exception to
+"every input joins the hash" [observed] (`src/core/review-cache.ts`
+`ReviewInputHashOptions`). The block is derived from the previous result, so
+including it would change the hash the moment a first review exists and miss on
+every re-review — disabling the cache exactly where it pays. A hit already means
+the diff, files, config and metadata are byte-identical, so reusing that run's
+conclusions is precisely what the block would have told the model to do.

Its schema caps both item count and length, and marks every note as `unverified-model-diagnostics`. Keeping it inside `review` rather than beside it is load-bearing: dismissal re-renders already pass `state.review` back through `renderMarkdown`, so the trace survives `/dismiss` and `/undismiss` without another reporter parameter or a second persistence path [observed: `schema.ts` `CoordinatorOutputSchema.reviewTrace`; `reporters/github.ts` `applyDismissal`; `render.ts` `renderMarkdown`].
+
+## Review Result Cache
+
+The same durable comment state is the cache for automated CI reviews. `reviewInputHash` (`src/core/review-cache.ts`) hashes each scoped changed file's content from the materialized PR-head tree, a normalized patch (blob ids and hunk coordinates removed; deletion/mode information retained), and every stable input that can change the result: the engine package version, resolved prompts/config/models, PR title/body, selected agents and routing mode, and external context. It deliberately excludes the temporary trusted-config path and the base/head commit OIDs. A restack changes OIDs and may move hunk line numbers; if it leaves the actual review input byte-identical, CI reuses the complete `CoordinatorOutput` already embedded in the most recent author-verified reviewer comment instead of launching the agents again. Symlinks are hashed as link targets and never followed. A package release changes the key so upgraded review logic runs once. Legacy comments store one `inputHash`; aggregate comments store one per `ScopeReviewResult`, so an unchanged scope can hit independently while a changed sibling reruns.
+
+Reuse is conservative. Manual `/review`/`--force` always reruns. Partial or failed reviews (`incomplete` or `couldNotComplete`) are never cacheable. Aggregate truncation removes the affected scope's hash because the embedded scope is no longer the full result. Stack-aware requalification and model-backed author-feedback seams stay fresh because their live GitHub inputs are not yet represented in the key. Cache lookup failures degrade to an ordinary fresh review. These gates make a false miss cost tokens, while preventing a false hit from presenting stale or incomplete coverage as current.
+
+The hash is state, not display: it lives only inside the base64 state marker and survives `/dismiss`/`/undismiss` re-renders. The existing author-plus-marker ownership check remains the trust boundary for adopting prior state; a PR author cannot forge a look-alike comment and supply a cache entry.
+
 **The coverage note only cries wolf when there is a wolf.** The partial-coverage warning renders only when `review.incomplete` is non-empty (`render.ts:166`) — the aggregate renderer additionally triggers it when unmatched files exist (`render.ts:373`) — a deliberate anti-noise choice so the warning is trustworthy when it appears (`render.test.ts:34`). The advisory footer ("never blocks a merge and never auto-approves") is duplicated verbatim across both renderers because it is a required trust-boundary claim, not incidental text.

+run from the outward-facing GitHub write without changing the review between them.
+After terminal preview it writes the exact verified `CoordinatorOutput` plus bounded
+feedback records to an owner-only, versioned artifact under
+`.expo-code-review/.runs/deferred/`. The artifact contains no credential. Saving is
+PR-only, requires an explicit repo, and is mutually exclusive with immediate
+`--post`; scopes and alternate config directories are rejected in v1 rather than
+silently producing an artifact the post command cannot faithfully reconstruct
+[observed: `src/commands/review.ts` `validateReviewArgs`,
+`writeDeferredReviewArtifact`].
+
+`ecr post-review --artifact P --repo owner/repo --pr N` performs no model call. It
+loads config from the local checkout (the terminal user remains the trust principal),
+strictly schema-validates and byte-caps the artifact, and requires four independent
+bindings before any GitHub write: artifact target equals the explicit argv repo/PR;
+the live PR head equals the reviewed 40-hex OID; the current comment tag,
+break-glass marker, and feedback policy hash to the stored posting-policy
+fingerprint; and the live break-glass check returns false. A break-glass API error
+fails closed on this deferred path. Only then does it pass the stored review through
+the ordinary `GitHubReporter`, preserving the single-comment lifecycle, dismissal
+state, hidden review trace, links, pins, and feedback merge [observed:
+`src/commands/post-review.ts`, `src/core/deferred-review.ts`].
+
+The explicit repo/PR is deliberately repeated at post time. An artifact is data, not

 `--context-file` in CI takes the opposite read-error policy from `ecr review`, and the split is dictated by the never-fail-checks invariant. `ci` reads the file once before any fan-out and, on a missing/oversized/unreadable path, WARNs to stderr and continues with no context — it never fails, because a broken Atlantis-provided plan file must not turn the PR's check red [observed: `src/commands/ci.ts` `--context-file` read → stderr warn, no `exitCode`, `contextText` stays undefined]. The same reader (`readContextFile`, capped at `MAX_CONTEXT_FILE_BYTES`) backs both commands; only the catch policy differs — fatal locally, warn in CI.

+
+`@expo/code-review-cli` ships a documentation-search MCP as a second binary in
+the same npm package. ECR exposes that bounded MCP directly to reviewer and cross-file
+passes. Those agents decide when an external contract needs evidence, search for a
+precise symbol, or fetch an exact supported documentation URL already present in the
+review context. Coordinator, verifier, stack-verifier, and no-tools fallback passes do
+not receive the MCP.
+
+## One Package, Two Binaries
+
+The package exposes `ecr` and `review-research-mcp`. Keeping both in one package
+makes the query router, MCP protocol, source adapters, tests, and review integration
+one versioned unit. ECR does not resolve the MCP through `PATH`: it starts the
+package-relative entry point with the current absolute Node executable. Root config
+supplies only enablement, bounds, and an optional absolute fallback index path—not an
+arbitrary command, endpoint, host, or argument vector.
+
+The MCP remains a process boundary rather than an in-process import. Its stdout is
+the only result channel, and ECR caps calls, results, and per-call duration. Each run
+uses an owner-only temporary MCP configuration and append-only audit. A tool failure
+remains local to research and never skips or weakens an ordinary review pass.
+
+The environment ECR declares in that configuration is a request, not a boundary. Both
+Claude Code and OpenCode merge a server's `env` onto the environment they already hold
+rather than replacing it, so the declared allowlist alone leaves the engine's model
+credential in the child — and under OpenCode the runner's entire ambient environment,
+because the SDK spawns its server with an unfiltered `process.env`. ECR therefore does
+not rely on the engines for this. The command in the configuration names a wrapper that
+rebuilds the environment from an explicit allowlist and then starts the real server.
+The wrapper is deliberately inert: it loads no parser and opens no socket, so the one
+process that still holds the engine's credentials is not the one that parses untrusted
+remote documents. Anything the engine merged in stops there.
+
+Starting a review does not derive searches from the patch, prefetch documentation, or
+start a crawl. ECR only prepares the bounded MCP configuration and audit path. Reviewer
+and cross-file agents make individual search or direct-fetch calls when their reasoning
+identifies an external contract that needs grounding. This keeps query selection inside
+the pass that understands the candidate issue and avoids spending calls on speculative
+identifier searches.
+
+## Search, Fetch, and Optional Index Boundary
+
+`review-research-mcp serve` uses Brave Web Search as discovery for non-Expo
+providers. Each request combines the already-sanitized API/concept query with a fixed
+provider-owned `site:` scope. The endpoint is fixed, redirects are rejected, response
+size/time/hit count are capped, and the fixed `BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY` is the only
+credential the wrapper admits into the server's environment. Search titles, snippets,
+and ranking are untrusted discovery hints, never evidence.
+
+One reserved call is not one request. A search selects up to four providers, each of
+which issues its own discovery request and then downloads candidate pages until it has
+enough results, and every page may cost up to six round trips through the redirect
+chain. The call budget alone therefore understates outbound traffic by more than an
+order of magnitude, so each call carries a ledger — discovery requests, page fetches,
+redirect hops, total requests, elapsed time — recorded in the audit and summed for the
+review. The same seam carries one end-to-end deadline per call, because no engine can
+supply it: OpenCode's `mcp.timeout` bounds tool discovery rather than execution, and
+Claude passes no per-call timeout at all, leaving only a per-hop limit that multiplies
+instead of bounding. A call that reaches its deadline returns the evidence it already
+has rather than failing.
+
+Every discovered URL must independently pass the provider's exact HTTPS host/path
+allowlist before a fetch begins. Redirects are handled manually and must remain on
+the provider's request allowlist; content type, body size, redirect count, timeout,
+and fetched-page count are bounded. The fetched official body—not the search
+snippet—is parsed, locally ranked, truncated, and returned as evidence. Apple
+documentation uses its structured DocC JSON, including symbol and availability
+metadata. Search-engine sparsity produces an empty result and never broadens the
+trust boundary.
+
+Search-time page retrieval is demand-driven rather than a background prefetch. The
+MCP fetches the highest-ranked allowlisted candidates in batches sized to the number
+of results still needed. It advances to later candidates only when an earlier page is
+rejected, unavailable, or excluded by a requested language. Candidate pages that are
+not needed to fill the result limit are not downloaded.
+
+## Direct URL Fetch Boundary
+
+The MCP also exposes `fetch_platform_doc` for a caller that already has an exact
+documentation link. It infers the narrowest matching provider from a fixed ordering,
+or accepts a fixed provider id as a hint when corpora overlap. The supplied URL must
+pass that provider's canonical HTTPS host/path allowlist before network access. The
+request adapter, every redirect, content type, timeout, and response size then pass
+the same checks as a search-discovered document. The tool fetches one page only and
+returns normalized extracted text—never raw HTML or DocC JSON. An optional query
+selects context within the page; it cannot turn the operation into discovery.
+
+Direct fetch uses progressive disclosure. `focused` returns a small contiguous group
+around the best passage. `section`, the default, returns at most 12,000 contiguous
+characters around that match. `document` returns at most 20,000 extracted characters
+and is reserved for contracts spread across a page. Every response reports the
+extracted document length, returned length, truncation, anchor passage id, and a
+bounded passage-id inventory. Search passages carry adjacent ids so a reviewer can
+recognize missing local context and expand the canonical URL instead of broadening
+discovery.
+
+This path is useful for documentation links already present in review context. For
+Apple symbol links it converts the canonical `/documentation/...` URL into Apple's
+allowlisted DocC JSON request URL, preserving the human-facing canonical URL in the
+result. A URL that matches no provider is rejected before `fetch`; a redirect outside
+the selected provider's separate request allowlist is rejected before following it.
+
+Expo-routed queries use the fixed public Expo Algolia endpoint. Its browser-visible
+key is search-only; redirects are rejected, response size/time/hit count are capped,
+records are schema-validated, and canonical result URLs must remain on
+`docs.expo.dev`.
+
+OkHttp uses the fixed official `lysine.dev` static search index because the newly
+migrated feature pages are not yet comprehensively represented in Brave. The index
+has the same response-size/schema/URL constraints, is cached only within the MCP
+process, and can never admit a URL outside the OkHttp provider allowlist. Brave is a
+fallback when that first-party index is unavailable.
+
+There is no offline index, and no crawler to build one. Live discovery replaced the
+deterministic prefetch it was designed for, and the fallback it provided was never
+free: an index is an artifact whose bytes sit outside the trust boundary the rest of
+the system establishes. `research.indexPath` had to be an absolute path, so it
+resolved against the runner's filesystem rather than the materialized trusted base —
+the trusted-base mechanism protected the config that NAMED the index, never the
+contents at that path, and nothing carried a digest. Index passages were also the one
+evidence source returned unbounded, while every live source is length-capped.
+
+Removing it deletes that whole class of question rather than answering it. Every
+passage a review sees is now fetched during that review from an allowlisted host,
+bounded on entry. A config still naming `research.indexPath` fails to parse, so a
+stale setting surfaces as an error instead of being silently ignored.
+
+This also removes the reason researched reviews could not reuse a cached result.
+Reuse was disabled whenever research was enabled because evidence depended on mounted
+index contents that the cache key could not represent; with no mounted artifact, the
+ordinary input hash covers the whole review again.
+
+## Query and Prompt Boundary
+
+Reviewer prompts and MCP tool metadata tell direct clients to use exact symbols plus
+one member, behavior, or constraint term, and to retry a broad result with at most one
+narrower query. The MCP then deterministically removes quoted literals, URLs, email
+addresses, paths, prose stop words, overlong or high-entropy tokens, and unsupported
+punctuation. Credential-shaped or secret-labeled input fails closed. The remaining
+query must contain an API-like symbol — which includes hyphenated package names such
+as `expo-camera` — or be a short multi-word lowercase concept phrase, stay under eight
+short tokens, and fit the review-wide call budget. The concept-phrase allowance exists
+because guide, release-note, and Expo topics frequently have no CamelCase symbol; its
+tokens pass the same length, entropy, and secret checks, and a single generic word
+still fails closed. The search tool's advertised result limit is derived from the
+enforced per-call bound, and the direct-fetch focused passage count is independent of
+that bound, so a caller's mental model matches what a request can return.
+
+Provider selection preserves native platform ownership. Swift or Objective-C source
+uses Apple for OS contracts; Kotlin, Java, and Gradle source uses Android for platform
+contracts. Explicit library signals add the owning provider—such as SDWebImage,
+Media3, Glide, or OkHttp—when library behavior also matters. Repository ownership is
+not documentation ownership, so a `packages/expo-*` path does not replace Apple or
+Android with Expo documentation.
+
+These checks bound the SHAPE of an outbound request, not its information content. The
+reviewing model reads repository data and then chooses the query terms and URL path,
+and a token that satisfies every rule above — short, low-entropy, API-shaped — can
+still encode repository-derived bytes. The provider allowlist fixes who receives a
+request; it does not constrain what the request says. Research is therefore an
+outbound disclosure channel to Brave and the documentation providers, appropriate only
+where repository-derived terms may be shared with them, and the reviewer prompt's
+instruction not to send repository text is a mitigation rather than an enforcement.
+
+MCP output is schema-validated, limited to HTTPS URLs from the requested provider,
+truncated, and sanitized. Returned passages are labeled untrusted reference data in
+the reviewer prompt. The Brave credential is scoped to the MCP child and is never
+written to MCP output, prompts, logs, or run artifacts. Issue tracker text keeps
+distinct provenance and is never presented as an API contract.
+
+## Research Provenance and Citations
+
+Research is observable without exposing the Brave key or unbounded responses. Each review
+prints the exact bounded queries and every accepted result's title, provider,
+provenance class, and canonical URL. GitHub Actions receives that same data in its
+step summary. The JSONL run log additionally stores at most the already-bounded
+passage returned to the reviewer so operators can determine whether research was
+useful after the fact; it still excludes PR title/body and model transcripts.
+
+Calls refused before execution are also audited, by reason class only: a rejected
+query, a rejected direct-fetch URL, or an exhausted call budget. The refused input is
+never recorded — it may be exactly the material the sanitizer refused to send — but
+the counts surface in progress output and the step summary so operators can see unmet
+research demand and tune the budget. A budget-exhausted attempt does not consume a
+reservation.
+
+The reviewer may select a source for a finding only by copying its exact title and URL
+from an MCP result. Model output crosses an engine-side grounding seam: URLs absent
+from the run's append-only MCP audit are removed and accepted titles are restored from
+canonical evidence. URL matching is fragment-insensitive — a model that normalizes a
+copied URL by dropping its `#fragment` keeps its citation, and the audited URL (never
+the model's variant) is what gets restored. Grounded sources are unioned across
+duplicate reviewer findings, preserved through coordinator rewrites by the finding
+fingerprint, stored in hidden comment state, and rendered as visible links. Sources do
+not participate in fingerprints or severity/decision logic, and findings that did not
+materially use research omit them.
+
+A finding that cites research always reaches the adversarial verifier, and its task
+inlines the audited passages behind those citations as fenced untrusted reference
+data. The repository alone cannot confirm an external-behavior claim, so without the
+passages the verifier would judge it from model memory — the failure mode research
+exists to remove. The verifier separately reports whether the cited passages support
+the claim; an explicitly unsupported citation is stripped (including its
+fingerprint-carried copy) while the finding itself still stands or falls on the
+ordinary verdict, and any ambiguity fails open toward keeping the citation.
+
+A reviewer may also emit a bounded, conclusion-only `researchDecisions` record when
+documentation materially confirms a finding candidate or proves one safe. These
+records never enter policy or decision logic. ECR discards any record without an exact
+audited source. After verification and suppression produce the final findings, ECR
+counts final cited findings, supported and dismissed candidates, and unique result
+URLs materially used versus unused. A narrow heuristic also counts final findings that
+assert external platform behavior — a version or API-level claim, or
+documented-lifecycle wording — with no grounded citation; the count is advisory
+observability, never a gate. The Actions summary displays those metrics and grounded
+candidate conclusions; the JSONL run record preserves the same structured data with
+the queries and bounded results.
+
+## Installation-Specific Research Is Deferred
+
+The built-in source catalog covers Apple, Android, platform releases, Swift
+Evolution, SDWebImage, Media3, Glide, OkHttp, Kotlin coroutines, Gradle/AGP, selected JetBrains
+issues, Expo, React Native, Reanimated, Gesture Handler, Screens, and Worklets.
+The canonical OkHttp host is backed by both the
+[maintainer's transfer announcement](https://jakewharton.com/the-lysine-contingency/)
+and [Commonhaus's project-transfer record](https://www.commonhaus.org/activity/315.html).
+A later design may let adopters select or add research capabilities through trusted
+root configuration, similar to agent files. That extension must not turn arbitrary
+PR-controlled URLs, commands, parsers, or executable plugins into review inputs. New
+remote sources still need an operator-controlled host/path allowlist and provenance
+class; scope configs remain unable to alter the research runtime or index.
+
+Expo skills solve a different problem: pinned procedural guidance for how a reviewer
+should reason or act. They may later be supplied as versioned, separately labeled
+trusted context selected from root configuration. Documentation results remain
+untrusted evidence with canonical sources. A crawler result must never install,
+activate, or rewrite a reviewer skill.

+ * The outbound seam for a single MCP tool call: one deadline and one ledger,
+ * wrapped around the fetch implementation every search and fetch path already
+ * receives.
+ *
+ * Two problems made this necessary, and both are structural rather than
+ * incidental:
+ *
+ *  - No engine can bound a call's duration. OpenCode's `mcp.timeout` bounds tool
+ *    DISCOVERY, not execution, and Claude passes no per-call timeout at all. The
+ *    only hardcoded bound was 10s PER REDIRECT HOP, which multiplies: a page that
+ *    redirects five times costs 60s, and a four-provider search walking its
+ *    candidates costs minutes. The deadline has to live here.
+ *  - The audit reserved one budget unit per tool call and reported nothing about
+ *    what that unit spent. One call can issue four paid searches and sixteen page
+ *    downloads, so "8 calls" understated real traffic by more than an order of
+ *    magnitude.
+ *
+ * Wrapping fetch (rather than threading a signal through every signature) means
+ * every existing caller is covered automatically, including paths added later.
