v8.1.0 S2. examples/malicious-skill-demo/evil-project-health/ (7 files,
30 Unicode Tag chars, a base64 exfil blob) is now one archive,
evil-project-health.archive.json: rot13 text, every codepoint above U+007E
stored as a number, sha256 of each retired file recorded. materialize.mjs
writes it to a temp dir (CLI prints the path); run-demo.sh materializes
and deletes it itself; the six scanner tests that scanned the tree use it.
payload-trees.test.mjs asserts byte identity (mutation-checked).
av-surface: b 8->6, c 1->0, d 2->1. Demo 13/13 before and after. All
scanners report identical findings except git-forensics: it used to scan
this repository's own history (21 findings, none about the demo) and now
reports skipped in a temp dir, which git.test.mjs already accepts.

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.
