## Research Process

1. Decompose the question into concrete sub-questions.
2. Search each sub-question with `web_search`; collect URLs and snippets.
3. Self-evaluate: list gaps, weak evidence, and contradictions.
4. Re-search to close gaps until coverage is sufficient.
5. Synthesize an answer citing every source. Flag anything unverified.
