-## When Council Is Invoked
-
-- Deep mode only (standard and quick skip council)
-- After normalize & dedup (Phase 1 of synthesis)
-- Input: all claims with agent_count >= 2, plus high-confidence unique claims (confidence > 0.8)

-## Interface Contract
-
-ftm-researcher prepares a structured prompt for ftm-council:
-
-```
-Evaluate these research findings for accuracy, completeness, and potential bias.
-For each claim below, independently assess:
-1. Is the evidence sufficient to support this claim?
-2. What would make this claim wrong?
-3. Are there alternative explanations the research may have missed?
-4. Rate your confidence in this claim (0-1).
-
-[claims formatted as numbered list with evidence and sources]
-
-Return your assessment for each claim with: verdict (supported/contested/insufficient),
-confidence, and reasoning.

-## How Council Results Map Back
-
-| Council Verdict | Mapping |
-|---|---|
-| All 3 providers: "supported" | consensus tier |
-| 2 agree "supported", 1 contests | consensus tier with minority note |
-| 2 contest, 1 supports | contested tier |
-| All 3 contest | refuted tier |
-| Mixed with "insufficient" | unique_insights tier (needs more evidence) |
-| 2 "insufficient", 1 "supported" | unique_insights tier |
-| 2 "insufficient", 1 "contested" | refuted tier (not enough evidence to contest = rejection) |
-
-### Tie-Breaking Rules
-
-When the mapping is ambiguous:
-1. Prefer the more conservative tier (contested over consensus, refuted over unique_insights)
-2. If all three providers give different verdicts, place in contested with full position details
-3. If confidence scores diverge significantly (spread > 0.3), flag as high-uncertainty

-
-## Fallback: Standalone Challengers
-
-When ftm-council is unavailable (Codex CLI or Gemini CLI not installed):
-
-Spawn 2 agents on the `review` model from ftm-config:
-
-### Devil's Advocate Agent
-
-```
-You are the Devil's Advocate in a research pipeline.
-
-Your sole purpose is to find reasons each claim is WRONG.
-
-For each claim below:
-1. Search for counter-evidence using WebSearch
-2. Identify logical gaps in the reasoning
-3. Flag claims supported by only one source type
-4. Check if the evidence actually supports the claim or if the claim overstates the evidence
-5. Look for cherry-picked data or survivorship bias
-
-Be adversarial. The goal is to stress-test, not to confirm.
-
-CLAIMS TO CHALLENGE:
-[formatted list of claims with evidence]
-
-RETURN FORMAT:
-For each claim challenged, return:
-- claim_challenged: [the claim text]
-- challenge_type: counter_evidence | logical_gap | single_source | overstated | bias
-- counter_evidence: [what you found that contradicts or weakens the claim]
-- severity: high | medium | low
-- recommendation: reject | weaken | flag_for_review | accept_with_caveat
-```
-
-### Edge Case Hunter Agent
-
-```
-You are the Edge Case Hunter in a research pipeline.
-
-Your sole purpose is to find where each claim BREAKS.
-
-For each claim below:
-1. What happens at scale? (10x, 100x, 1000x users/data/requests)
-2. What happens under adversarial conditions? (malicious input, DDoS, data poisoning)
-3. What about accessibility? (screen readers, keyboard-only, low bandwidth)
-4. What about the 1% case? (rare but catastrophic failure modes)
-5. What about 5 years from now? (technology shifts, dependency deprecation, scaling limits)
-6. What happens when the key assumption changes? (the market shifts, the API breaks, the team grows)
-
-CLAIMS TO STRESS-TEST:
-[formatted list of claims with evidence]
-
-RETURN FORMAT:
-For each claim stressed, return:
-- claim_challenged: [the claim text]
-- challenge_type: scale | adversarial | accessibility | edge_case | longevity | assumption_shift
-- failure_scenario: [specific scenario where this claim breaks]
-- severity: high | medium | low
-- recommendation: reject | weaken | flag_for_review | accept_with_caveat
-```
-
-### Fallback Mapping
-
-Map challenger results to tiers:
-
-| Challenger Result | Mapping |
-|---|---|
-| No challenges from either agent | consensus |
-| Challenges with weak counter-evidence (low severity) | consensus with note |
-| One agent challenges with medium severity | contested |
-| Both agents challenge with medium+ severity | contested (strong) |
-| Multiple high-severity challenges | refuted |
-| Only edge case challenges, no factual counter-evidence | consensus with edge-case notes |

-## Council Availability Detection
-
-Before invoking ftm-council, check availability:
-
-1. Check if `codex` CLI is installed: `which codex`
-2. Check if `gemini` CLI is installed: `which gemini`
-3. If both are available: use full council
-4. If only one is available: use 2-provider council (reduced confidence in verdicts)
-5. If neither is available: use fallback challenger agents
-
-Log the availability status in the research metadata.
-
----
-
-## Per-Claim Council Invocation
-
-The conversational iteration protocol supports council invocation for individual claims:
-
-When the user says "council #N":
-1. Extract finding N from the current research state
-2. Send ONLY that claim to ftm-council with full evidence
-3. Update the claim's tier based on council verdict
-4. Re-render the disagreement map with the updated position
-5. Report the council's reasoning to the user
