-## Chunk Manifest
+## Research Manifest
 
-> **INTER-PHASE CONTRACT:** This manifest is designed for RPI-Plan consumption.
-> RPI-Plan will process each chunk sequentially, creating a CHUNK-Pn todolist per CHUNK-Rn.
+> **GENERATED BY:** Phase 1 - Parallel Search Agents
+> **PURPOSE:** Drivers for Phase 2 - Sequential Deep Dive.
+> **INTER-PHASE CONTRACT:** RPI-Plan reads this to understand the system structure.
