implement.md spawns implementer agents in parallel batches, all appending to
the same implementation-log.md. Dogfooding showed agents satisfying 'Append
result to:' with a full-file Write — the last writer clobbered 4 of 6 entries.
Pin the mechanism in both contracts: append with Bash >> heredoc, never the
Write/Edit tool on the shared log. Shape tests pin the instruction in both
files (empirically verified: agents given the >> instruction appended safely).

Add /ultraresearch-local for structured research combining local codebase
analysis with external knowledge via parallel agent swarms. Produces research
briefs with triangulation, confidence ratings, and source quality assessment.
New command: /ultraresearch-local with modes --quick, --local, --external, --fg.
New agents: research-orchestrator (opus), docs-researcher, community-researcher,
security-researcher, contrarian-researcher, gemini-bridge (all sonnet).
New template: research-brief-template.md.
Integration: --research flag in /ultraplan-local accepts pre-built research
briefs (up to 3), enriches the interview and exploration phases. Planning
orchestrator cross-references brief findings during synthesis.
Design principle: Context Engineering — right information to right agent at
right time. Research briefs are structured artifacts in the pipeline:
ultraresearch → brief → ultraplan --research → plan → ultraexecute.
