Strategic research companion — brainstorm, evaluate, and decide on research directions. TRIGGER when the user wants to brainstorm research, evaluate research ideas, do project triage, or explore a problem space. ALSO TRIGGER when the user proposes a research idea mid-session, shares a hunch, or uses phrasings like "what if…", "I'm thinking…", "maybe we could…", "here's an idea…", "should we try X?", "wouldn't it be interesting if…" — mid-session proposals default to triage mode (pass `triage` or `quick` as the first argument for a fast, single-agent critique; pass `full` or a bare problem space for the 6-phase flow). Orchestrates brainstormer, idea-critic, and research-strategist agents through a 6-phase pipeline: Seed → Diverge → Evaluate → Deepen → Frame → Decide. Includes Carlini's conclusion-first test.
