From b920d47cb169858f4dfb7a3eb6565ea46e6ed008 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lex Christopherson Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2026 10:50:11 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] fix(research-phase): remove domain gatekeeping The when_to_use section was overly restrictive, refusing research for "standard" domains. Research benefits any unfamiliar territory, not just niche technical domains.
