Finalize

Every mode ends here once research.md is assembled.

1. research.md is complete per references/synthesis.md: decision-first summary, findings, contrary evidence where found, recommendations with downstream bindings, source appendix, staleness map. Frontmatter metadata (type, topic, decision, source, status, dates) is what lets every downstream consumer trust it without reprocessing.
2. Citation check — mechanical, then semantic. Run uv run scripts/recon_kit.py citations {doc_workspace}/research.md — it diffs inline [n] markers against the appendix and lists dangling markers and orphaned rows exactly; fix what it reports. Then a fresh-context subagent does only the judgment half: does each cited source actually say what the text claims? It never rewrites findings — a claim whose source doesn't back it gets its confidence downgraded and the mismatch logged as an event.
3. Render per {workflow.output_format} (see references/html-briefing.md): auto renders the briefing page on interactive runs, skips on headless/skill-invoked; html/both always; md never. research.md always exists — the briefing is its regenerable face.
4. Polish: apply each {workflow.doc_standards} entry (a skill:, file:, or plain-text directive) to research.md.
5. Execute each {workflow.external_handoffs} entry (NotebookLM, Confluence, …) — invoke the named tool, surface returned URLs; skip and flag unavailable tools.
6. Tell the user what exists and where — report, briefing, imports, memlog — plus what the staleness map says to re-check and when, and that Refresh/Deepen handle it. Invoke bmad-help to suggest the next step.
7. Run {workflow.on_complete} if non-empty — a string is one instruction, an array is a sequence.
