Frontier has a source manifest and historical design notes but no maintained research index connecting external claims to project evidence and bounded experiments. Add the index in the existing docs/research structure, a reusable entry template, the Threat Interactive rendering lead, and a controlled baseline/shared-wall-resource experiment proposal. The README links the knowledgebase; seven appended manifest rows preserve the existing CSV contract and all prior references.

The seed separates inherited partial video/caption evidence, public Godot/AMD guidance, pinned Frontier source observations and unrun experiments. It preserves the incomplete video/outro coverage, mutable documentation, pacing-limited 523x504 habitat baseline and 32-wall canonical limit. The ten mesh/material constructions per new wall are source-level arithmetic; no rendering improvement or video benchmark is claimed as reproduced. The 100/1,000-wall cases remain proposed isolated presentation stress fixtures.

The weekly procedure consolidates updates into one documentation PR per pass, uses regular PRs for completed documentation, and leaves scheduling with the parent coordinator. It explicitly does not authorize disclosure of additional unfinished/private engine research, logs or credentials. Future native experiments and additional publication remain separate work.

Validation at 1d089b3:

  • Public-only review of all six PR files, pinned public supporting source/report paths, and cited official documentation. No private research, logs or credentials were accessed or added.
  • Focused in-memory checks passed: 34 relative Markdown links, final newlines/trailing whitespace, ten-column CSV structure (22 rows including header), and exact cloud readback of the two corrected files.
  • The correction commit changes three lines across docs/research/README.md and R-001: regular-PR policy, the disclosure hold, and precise wall-body attachment wording. No new research claims, runtime/configuration/workflow changes or native experiments.
  • The original six-file documentation diff remains bounded. CI required succeeded at previous head 3eec777; fresh CI for this head is pending and must pass before merge. The manifest CSV selects full CI scope under existing repository policy.

Runtime A/B evidence, moving-image readability, representative hardware/VR coverage, video publication metadata and the final 49 seconds/outro remain explicitly unverified. They are limitations of proposed research, not claims of completed engine work. Main-thread review and merge remain separate.
