| What it does | Start a durable research / source note that captures what you read and found — fires on "start a research note", "capture these sources", "log my research". Part of the Agentsmith harness; scaffolds docs/research/<slug>.md so findings live in the repo, never in disposable memory (R9), and are never silently deleted. | Create, deploy to, reload, and tear down a local kind cluster running Calico from locally-built images. Use when the user wants to bring up a test cluster, try a change on a real cluster, reload a rebuilt image onto kind, or destroy the cluster. |
