Prose travels with its domain: research instructions defer with research tools

↗ view on GitHub · Eli Ziff · 2026-07-31 · 31ae135b

Instructions for tools that are not loaded are pure cost. The research prose
-- CourtListener, A2AJ, public sources -- explains tools the address arm
defers, so it now defers with them and arrives in the describe_tools reply
that opens the domain.

This is not a new mechanism; SPREADSHEET_CITATION_PROMPT already worked this
way, spliced in only when a spreadsheet is actually in context. It was simply
never applied to the research half.
