# Research: [task name]
**Date:** YYYY-MM-DD
**Task size:** S | M | L

## Current Architecture
How it works now (key modules, data flow)

## Affected Areas
Which files/modules will change and why

| # | File/Module | Why affected |
|---|-------------|-------------|
| 1 | ... | ... |

## Codebase Patterns
Conventions in use (style, state management, API patterns, testing approach)

## Risks and Constraints
What could break, edge cases, performance concerns

## Open Questions
What needs clarification from user or further research
