"""research_define.py — deterministic DEFINE stage (R1).

DEFINE compiles the research contract from the Gitea issue.
It is DETERMINISTIC — it reads the issue body and produces the contract.
MiMo is invoked ONLY if the issue is ambiguous (no clear objective/constraints).

DEFINE does NOT: inspect code, search externally, or produce a design.
DEFINE does: classify the question, identify sub-questions, define the evidence
contract, and produce the required-stage plan.
