 ## How it runs

-  not hold up the others. Report notes keep a fixed order whatever finishes first. Photo downloads run four at a time.
+  the link-in-bio page start as soon as their address is known (given, or found on the website or web search), so a slow
+  source does not hold up the others. Report notes keep a fixed order whatever finishes first. Photo downloads run four at a time.
+- **Web-search fallback.** When Google and OpenStreetMap find no place or no website, a key-free DuckDuckGo query
+  runs and its candidate links feed the rest of the pipeline. It is one extra request, only when it is needed.
 - **One shared browser.** Playwright's Chromium is launched at most once per run, only when a page needs rendering
   (`--render`, a 403, a client-rendered page), is shared by the website, TripAdvisor and link-in-bio readers, and is
   closed at the end even on failure.
 - **Fetch cap.** Pages are read up to 2 MB each; larger bodies are truncated, so a huge page cannot exhaust memory.
 
+## Runs and re-runs
+
+Output goes to `.tablefacts/research/<slug>/`; two spellings of the same name ("Makibar" and "Maki Bar") make two
+folders. A similar-name run is noted in the report, and `.tablefacts/research/latest.json` always points at the newest
+report, so reading every folder cannot resurface a stale one.
+
 ## Limits
 
 - It does not log in anywhere or get past bot protection. A blocked source is reported, not worked around.
 - It finds facts, not copy, logos or licensed photos.
-- A wrong match (a sister branch, a closed place) is the main risk: read the Warnings and "Sources disagree" first.
+- A wrong match (a sister branch, a closed place) is the main risk: read the Warnings and "Sources disagree" first. When Google returns several places with the same name, the report says so and asks which branch.
+- Only public surfaces are tried for Instagram/TripAdvisor. When they are walled, the report keeps the link and says so at the top; it does not defeat the wall.

-1. **Run it** from the repo root: `tablefacts research "<name>" "<city, country>" --country <ISO>`. Add `--website`, `--instagram`, `--tripadvisor` or `--linktree` for anything the user gave you; a user-supplied value is trusted over a search result. It takes under a minute, needs no prompts and prints the output folder.
-2. **Read `out/<slug>/report.md`**, in this order: Warnings, "What each source did", Facts, "Sources disagree". Confirm the match is the right restaurant (name, address, not closed) before using anything. If it matched the wrong place, rerun with a more specific location or `--website`.

Add `--website`, `--instagram`, `--tripadvisor` or `--linktree` for anything the user gave you; a user-supplied value is trusted over a search result. Uploading a Google Maps link as `--website` (or pasting it in the report as `mapsUrl`) unlocks coordinates; ask for it first when the report is thin.

Confirm the match is the right restaurant (name, address, not closed) before using anything. If it matched the wrong place, rerun with a more specific location or `--website`.
 3. **Treat every value as unconfirmed.** Fill `BRIEF.md` with the value and its source, never as client-confirmed. Anything under "not found" stays a placeholder and goes in your hand-off as an open question. Do not invent it.
-4. **Apply the facts**: review `setup-answers.txt`, run `npm run setup < .tablefacts/research/<slug>/setup-answers.txt`, read `git diff`. Setup does not cover `phone`, `email`, `MENU_LOCALE`, `brand.tagline`, `visit.hoursRows` or `jsonld.ts`: take those from the report by hand. Hours are ready to paste. Add street, phone and hours to `jsonld.ts` only for values the client confirmed.

 5. **Use the leads**: a Cluvi menu link means `tablefacts menu cluvi`, a PDF means `tablefacts menu raw` (`src/menu/README.md`). The theme colour and logo candidates are hints for `tokens.css` and `public/logo.svg`, not decisions.

 Do not commit `out/`, and never paste the Google key anywhere but `.env`. Photos it downloads belong to the restaurant or the photographer: use them as reference, not as site assets.
