Set up the frontend research bench

Implement the user's accepted infospace-bench integration inside this repository. The research corpus stays repository-owned; bench executes inspectable source investigations. Live research generation and canonical promotion are outside setup.

Install the domain workflow and intake adapter

id: FEP-WP-0005-T01

priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "d2210752-57b5-5929-b788-08a5684b6db8"

Added bibliography-bearing source intake, immutable source digests, copied workflow profiles and four ordered stages: claims, candidates, relation proposals, critique. Each review sees the original source and all intermediate results. One source per workspace avoids the upstream stage-output isolation limitation. Empty proposals are permitted; no automatic entity or canon admission occurs.

Verify fixture execution and failure boundaries

The synthetic fixture completed all four stages at research/bench/infospaces/fixture-smoke/. make bench-test checks the real bench workflow adapter: source and intermediate prompt context, provenance, source mutation, multiple-source rejection, call cap, missing bibliography, failure receipt and refusal to overwrite attempted runs. No live provider calls occurred.

Document research operation and admission

id: FEP-WP-0005-T03

priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "d3fe2d80-438c-5b31-bf8a-66b7f661183a"

research/bench/README.md, SourceInput.md and Admission.md describe setup, fixture/live commands, evidence status, ID mapping and review boundaries. Updated agent workflow and research program entry points.

Residual handoff

• Original source acquisition and evidence review: FEP-WP-0002-T02.
• Resolve metadata contract and provisional canonical ID mapping: FEP-WP-0002-T01.
• Cross-source synthesis and VC-01/VC-02 walkthroughs: FEP-WP-0002-T03.
• Typed graph export, metadata validator and retrieval evaluation: FEP-WP-0004.

Known limits: structural validation does not validate research claims; critique is assisted self-review; custom run supports explicit OpenRouter or fixture adapters; call caps do not enforce dollar/token budgets; one source per run; failed runs require a fresh workspace rather than an automatic resume.
