Foundation chunk of v5.6 "steering-model II" (internal plumbing for B/C;
no command-output change, so --json/--raw/SC-5/6/7 stay byte-stable, count
stays 13).
active-config-reader.mjs:
- deriveLoadPattern(kind,{scoped}) — pure helper mapping each source kind to
loadPattern {always,on-demand,external} + survivesCompaction {yes,no,n/a}
+ derivationConfidence {confirmed,inferred}, traced to the published
loading model (V-rows in docs/v5.5-steering-model-plan.md).
- enumerateRules / enumerateAgents / enumerateOutputStyles — the three
source kinds previously unenumerated (mirror enumerateSkills). Output-style
discovery is direct (not a new file-discovery type) to keep the discovery
surface stable.
- readActiveConfig now exposes rules/agents/outputStyles arrays + totals
counts/subtotals (folded into grandTotal).
yaml-parser.mjs:
- parseSimpleYaml now reads YAML block sequences (paths:\n - a), not just
inline paths:. An empty-valued key with no `- ` items stays null
(backcompat). Resolves a pre-existing RUL false-positive (a block-seq-scoped
rule was misread as unscoped) — fix flows through unchanged RUL code.
Tests +35 (961 -> 996): block-seq parser cases, RUL block-seq regression
(no-misflag + durability-fires), deriveLoadPattern table, three enumerators
(positive+negative). Amended two existing ACR asserts (top-level key shape +
grandTotal sum). self-audit A/A, readmeCheck passed, mismatches []. tests
badge 961+->996+; README testing prose de-staled (635/36 -> 996/56);
CLAUDE.md Foundation note.
B (manifest/tokens render + snapshot regen) and C (CA-OST, count->14)
deferred to their own sessions/GO.

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.
