Replace count-based pass-rate with severity-weighted penalty:
- penalty = sum(count[s] * WEIGHTS[s])
- maxBudget = max(10, findingCount * 4)
- passRate = max(0, 100 - penalty / maxBudget * 100)
A few lows no longer crater an area's grade; a single high or critical
consumes a large fraction of budget. Mirrors the operator intuition that
severity, not count, is the signal.
BREAKING (intentional): scoring semantics differ from v4 for non-clean
configs. Add scoringVersion: 'v5' to the returned struct so consumers
can detect the version. baseline-all-a remains all-A (no critical/high
on that fixture).
Tests: +6 cases for severity weighting; existing "many findings" test
updated to use highs (where v5 still drops the grade as expected).
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.
