What

Adds docs/multi-seat-research-design.md, a candidate design spec that re-expresses the Codex plan Better Researcher: strict verification and bounded adaptive research over the TELOS multi-model council. Named, not authorized; it routes through CHANGE-PROTOCOL.

Key adjustments from the source plan:

  • Stages are assigned to council seats from build-gate/seats.json; the required set (claude/agy/codex) is unchanged, grok and gemini stay advisory.
  • Extractor and auditor must differ per claim, enforced on packet provenance (originating-seat rule).
  • Audit verdicts require deterministic checks (a closed RESEARCH_CHECK_KINDS registry) and a signed auditor packet, the verifier.mjs verdict-on-facts idiom.
  • Report eligibility is a pure function over a signed, append-only ledger, recomputed at publication.
  • Python HTTPX / Google GenAI adapter replaced by metered admission over the existing seat router and plugin servers, with per-backend token ceilings pinned by mocked-fetch tests.
  • "Automatic promotion" becomes automatic qualification and deactivation, with activation reserved to The Eye.

Docs only, one new file; no code, contracts, or governance records change. An earlier revision also added a pointer to docs/ROADMAP.md; that file is pinned by blob sha in the clotho flagship expected set and self-weave evidence, so the pointer was dropped and the file restored byte-for-byte.

Checklist

  • Affected package suites run locally (list them below with results) — none affected; documentation only
  • No new dependencies or lockfiles in zero-dependency packages
  • No runtime .telos/ artifacts, secrets, .env*, or *.pem files committed
  • Hash-pinned/signed artifacts untouched (docs/ROADMAP.md restored to its pinned blob 7592a0c2)
  • Governance records and contracts unchanged (verify-contracts not applicable)

Test results

No package code touched. The first CI run failed only in clotho (flagship unmatched expectation on docs/ROADMAP.md), caused by the roadmap edit; the second revision removes that edit. Scanned the new doc for mythological vocabulary: only registered terms (Daedalus, TELOS, Clotho, The Eye) appear, each in its defined sense.

Adapt the Codex 'Better Researcher' plan to TELOS: stages assigned to
council seats from seats.json (required set unchanged), extractor and
auditor distinct by packet provenance, verdict on deterministic checks
plus a signed auditor packet, a closed research check registry, a pure
eligibility function over a signed ledger, metered admission over the
existing seat router, and Eye-gated activation of qualified routes.
Candidate design only; routes through CHANGE-PROTOCOL.

docs/ROADMAP.md is pinned by blob sha in clotho/scripts/expected-flagship.json
and the committed self-weave evidence, so editing it broke the clotho
flagship acceptance test. Restore the main-branch bytes; the design doc
stands alone.
