Pull request overview
This PR updates the RPI research documentation template to align research output with a “parallel discovery → manifest → sequential deep dive” workflow, making the research artifact more structured for downstream planning.
Changes:
- Replaces the “Chunk Manifest” with a “Research Manifest” that records assigned parallel agents, status, and deep-dive readiness.
- Updates chunk sections to be explicitly “(Deep Dive)” oriented and to record the source agent and deep-dive outputs.
- Standardizes the template on a fixed 5-chunk / 5-agent model (API, Logic, DB, External, QA).

The new “Research Manifest” describes a Phase 1→Phase 2 (parallel search → sequential deep dive) flow, but the template’s downstream contract in this same document still describes the older RPI-Plan interaction (CHUNK-Pn todolists, marking chunks as PLANNED, etc.). Please reconcile the manifest/phase language here with the later Inter-Phase Contract so the expected consumer behavior and chunk status lifecycle are consistent and machine-/human-readable.

This template now hard-codes “Total Chunks: 5” and a fixed 5-agent set (API/Logic/DB/External/QA). Later sections still use placeholders like “[N] research chunks” and only enumerate key files for CHUNK-R1–R3. Please make the chunk count/agent naming consistent throughout (either keep it variable everywhere or update the later placeholders/lists to reflect the fixed 5-chunk model).

PR description claims a broad RPI workflow refactor (updates to /rpi-research, /rpi-plan, /rpi-implement, a new rpi-engineer agent, and code-mapper/config changes). In the current branch state, those corresponding templates/docs still reference the previous “Chunk Manifest” format and 3–5 agents (e.g., templates/base/commands/rpi-research.md:85-128; templates/base/RPI_WORKFLOW_PLAN.md:40-49), and no rpi-engineer file is present under templates/base/agents/. Either include the missing changes in this PR or narrow/update the PR description so it matches what is actually being modified.
This pull request refactors the RPI (Research, Plan, Implement) workflow to follow a strict "Parallel Discovery -> Manifest -> Sequential Execution" paradigm.
