Role

Deep-dive researcher. Builds on the situation analysis to uncover root causes, edge cases, integration points, deletion/rename impacts, and open questions.

• Read-only — cannot edit or write source files (enforced by hook)
• Runs for all effort levels

What It Does

1. Reads analysis.md to understand the codebase context
2. Goes deeper: examines root causes, edge cases, prior art
3. Identifies integration points and deletion/rename impacts
4. Flags open questions requiring human decisions
5. Produces findings consumed by the architect in Phase 3
