## Research Before Planning Protocol Before planning any fix, tracing any issue, or proposing any solution: 1. Search online for current official documentation to confirm the behavior is NOT intended or already fixed 2. Search for state-of-the-art solutions, known community workarounds, and recent discussion on this problem type 3. Use parallel sub-agents to search multiple sources simultaneously 4. Report all findings before any code tracing begins Then trace each problem end-to-end through the actual source code using parallel sub-agents. Do not stop until ≥95% confident in the root cause for every issue being investigated.
