If research fails or times out:
Partial report format includes completion_percentage and sources_status (FULL/PARTIAL/PENDING).
After completing research:
@researcher is OPTIONAL in Feature and API Change workflows:
Feature: (@researcher) → @architect → @builder → gates → @scribe
API Change: (@researcher) → @architect → @api-guardian → @builder → gates → @scribe
Use when the task involves unfamiliar technology. Skip when working with known patterns.
