+## When to dispatch
+- A question needs answers from *outside* the repository — the open web, a
+  vendor's docs, an upgrade guide, a specification — and you want the verified
+  findings, not the pages, in your context ({{DOCTRINE}} process 3).
+- The research {{SKILL}} is running and the host can run subagents: this seat
+  does the fetching and cross-checking so the main context stays small.

+## Inputs
+- The question, what a complete answer must contain, and any source the caller
+  already trusts or distrusts.

+  constraints (never commit/push; report gaps instead of inventing). When an
