+Add a repository Actions secret named `BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY`. The generated
+automatic and command-triggered workflows pass only that search credential to the
+MCP. Expo uses its public documentation search and OkHttp uses its official static
+search index; neither consumes Brave quota.
+
+ECR resolves the MCP entry point inside its own installed package and starts it with
+the current absolute Node executable, so a PR-owned `PATH` entry cannot replace
+either component. Each review gets an owner-only temporary MCP config and append-only
+audit. Claude receives that explicit config under `--strict-mcp-config`, with project
+settings and slash commands disabled; OpenCode receives the same fixed local command.
+The Brave credential is passed to the MCP child, not the model process.
+
+The MCP is the outbound security boundary. Search queries are normalized before
+logging or networking: quoted literals, URLs, email addresses, paths, prose stop
+words, overlong/high-entropy tokens, and unsupported punctuation are removed;
+credential-shaped or secret-labeled input fails closed. The remaining query must be
+at most eight short tokens and contain an API-like symbol. Direct URLs must use plain
+HTTPS with no credentials, port, query string, or fragment; suspicious/high-entropy
+path segments fail closed. The fixed provider host/path allowlist and redirect,
+response-size, content-type, and timeout checks still apply after that first gate.
+These deterministic checks greatly reduce accidental exfiltration; they are not a
+proof that every low-entropy string is harmless, so reviewer prompts also forbid
+sending repository text and the review-wide MCP budget defaults to eight calls.
+
+For non-Expo providers, discovery sends a fixed, provider-owned `site:` scope plus
+the bounded query to Brave's fixed Web Search endpoint. Search snippets and titles
+are never treated as evidence. ECR independently rejects off-allowlist result URLs,
+manually validates every redirect, fetches a few official pages, verifies content
+types and response sizes, extracts visible documentation text, and returns locally
+ranked bounded passages. Sparse search-engine coverage therefore produces an honest
+empty result rather than a loose guess.
 
 Research is root-only in routed monorepos because it starts a host process; scope
-configs cannot change its index path or limits. Result-cache reuse is disabled while
-research is enabled because an index can change at the same mounted path. For CI,
-pin the ECR package/Node version and verify a signed index checksum before invoking
-ECR. A simpler initial deployment may build the index in an earlier, secretless
-workflow step using the same pinned published package, with no PR code executed and
-failure allowed so review can continue without research. Keep `update` out of the
-credential-bearing `ecr ci` process itself; the review pipeline always starts `serve`.
-
-The built-in query router recognizes Apple/Android APIs plus Media3, Glide, OkHttp,
+configs cannot alter its network behavior or limits. Result-cache reuse remains
+disabled while research is enabled because web results and documentation can change
+without a config change.
+
+The fixed provider catalog covers Apple/Android APIs plus Media3, Glide, OkHttp,
 Kotlin coroutines, Gradle/AGP, Swift concurrency/evolution, platform release/API
 availability, Expo, React Native, Reanimated, Gesture Handler, Screens, and Worklets.
 Queries are short exact symbols plus at most one useful member or behavior term. For
 example, `CameraView barcodeScannerSettings` is useful; a source snippet, import path,
 or natural-language question is not. The MCP publishes the same guidance in its tool
-metadata for direct clients. An empty result stays empty; it is not replaced with a
-loose semantic guess.
+metadata. An empty result stays empty; it is not replaced with a loose semantic guess.
+
+Direct clients can also call `fetch_platform_doc` with an exact documentation URL.
+The tool infers the narrowest matching provider (or accepts an explicit provider
+hint), then applies the same fixed HTTPS host/path allowlist, manual redirect checks,
+10-second timeout, 5 MB response limit, content-type validation, extraction, and
+passage bounds as search-discovered pages. An optional `query` ranks passages only
+within that one page; it never broadens discovery. For example,
+`https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/menustyle(_:)` is resolved to
+Apple's DocC JSON and returned with the canonical page URL and API availability.
+
+Every research-enabled review audits each sanitized outbound query and each returned result's
+title, provider, provenance class, and canonical URL. GitHub Actions receives the
+same audit trail in the step summary, while `.runs/reviews.jsonl` keeps the queries
+plus bounded returned passages for short-lived operational inspection. Reviewers
+are instructed to attach `sources` only when documentation materially supports a
+finding. ECR accepts only exact URLs returned during that review, restores canonical
+titles, carries citations through coordination, and renders them below the finding;
+invented or unrelated citations are dropped.
 
 For a query routed to the `expo` provider, `serve` POSTs the already-sanitized query
-directly to Expo's public Algolia search endpoint and prefers the returned canonical
-`docs.expo.dev` hits.
-The endpoint, application id, and browser-visible search-only key are fixed in the
-package; redirects are rejected; response size, timeout, hit count, and returned URL
-host are bounded. Algolia receives the query text; a failed request falls back to the
-mounted local index. The local index is still required for that fallback and every
-other provider. Direct MCP clients can omit the `expo` provider; ECR installations
-requiring a fully offline review should leave research disabled until provider
-selection becomes installation-configurable.
-
-The MCP and its trusted updater ship with ECR. From this repository, build an index
-with `bun run research:update`; an installed package exposes the equivalent
-`review-research-mcp update`. The built-in seed catalog lives in
-`research/sources.json`, while the generated `research/data/` directory is ignored
-and is not published. `seedUrls` are deterministic starting pages for the bounded
-crawler; ordinary link extraction, parsing, indexing, and searching use no LLM.

+`docs.expo.dev` hits. The endpoint, application id, and browser-visible search-only
+key are fixed in the package; redirects are rejected; response size, timeout, hit
+count, and returned URL host are bounded.
+
+OkHttp's newly migrated documentation is still sparse in Brave, so its provider
+downloads the fixed official `lysine.dev` static search index, validates and indexes
+it in memory once per MCP process, and rejects any entry outside the existing OkHttp
+allowlist. Brave remains a fallback if that official index is unavailable.
+
+An absolute `research.indexPath` remains available as an optional local fallback.
+The MCP and its trusted updater ship with ECR: build that fallback from this
+repository with `bun run research:update`, or from an installed package with
+`review-research-mcp update`. This is operator/scheduled offline tooling, not a
+step to run before each review. The built-in seed catalog lives in
+`research/sources.json`; `seedUrls` are deterministic starting pages for the
+bounded crawler, and extraction/indexing use no LLM. Installations requiring a fully
+offline review can supply a separately built, verified index and omit the Brave key.
 Installation-specific provider configuration is intentionally
 deferred: when added, it should follow the trusted root-config model used for agents
 without permitting PR-controlled URLs, commands, or executable parsers. Expo skills
