0) The Researcher works this queue to GROW the library, prioritized by COVERAGE GAP (rb_gap_score = priority x under-coverage) via nx_research_backlog (CAPREG 229). Each row: topic | priority(1-9, how core to the team's arcs) | library_hits(current docs) | status The Researcher pulls the highest-gap PENDING topic, researches it (autonomous loop + polite crawl + corroborate + site-ingest into knowledge/library/mirror/), then raises its hits + marks done.
