Awaiting user response on Research Decision gate (A: another round Mode B assessment / B: proceed to Plan greenfield Step 3). NO additional research necessary at the documentary level — every component has Selected primary candidate(s) with MVE evidence + zero ❌ + zero ❓ across Restrictions × Candidate-Modes sub-matrices. Recommendation: B (proceed to Plan) — research-layer work is complete, Plan-phase will close the 35 D-Cx-y decisions and produce architecture.md."
