Investigates codebases with a facts-before-opinions discipline — building a complete factual picture before interpreting what it means for the work ahead. Produces a structured research document saved to disk, split into observations and implications. Use when you need to understand existing code, patterns, dependencies, and constraints. Also use when the user says "research this", "explore the codebase", "investigate", "what does this code do", or "understand the system".
