v8.1.0 AV surface, session S1. The three poisoned fixture trees
(signature-scan/poisoned, memory-scan/poisoned-project, trigger-scan/poisoned)
are deleted from disk and materialized into a temp dir by the new
tests/helpers/payload-trees.mjs. SIG-matching strings are assembled from
fragments, the zero-width carrier comes from String.fromCodePoint, and every
file carries the sha256 of the retired on-disk bytes;
tests/helpers/payload-trees.test.mjs asserts the materialized trees are
byte-identical (mutation-checked: one changed byte fails it).
Inline payload literals in signature-scanner, signature-scanner-custom-rules
and e2e/scan-pipeline are fragmented the same way; the literal U+200B in
attack-simulator, auto-cleaner-rce and auto-cleaner-traversal is replaced by
String.fromCodePoint(0x200B).
av-surface: a 3->0, a2 3->0, c 5->1, d 5->2, b 9->8 (webshell-b64 blob gone).
What remains (c=1, d=2, b) is under examples/** or is (b), both S2.
Suite 2261 / 2252 pass / 3 fail (av-surface b, c, d only) / 6 skip.
Golden output identical before/after (109/7/4, 61/61).

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.
