research-source-claim

You can prevent duplicated research analysis by enforcing source ownership and provenance tracking across shared source manifests. This ensures each agent works only on their assigned URLs or approved unclaimed items without conflicting edits.

Race-safe source claiming uses compare-and-swap operations for dynamic source pools, preserving single-writer discipline and provenance tracking. This allows multiple agents to dynamically claim unassigned research sources without conflicts or overlapping analysis.

You track provenance and ownership boundaries by parsing source manifests and validating ownership before analysis begins. The system enforces boundaries so agents analyze only their assigned URLs and records evidence provenance for coordinated research execution.

Yes, this workflow applies to parallel investigation tasks and sessions consuming assigned or unclaimed source pools. It supports dynamic claiming through compare-and-swap operations while maintaining single-writer discipline and provenance tracking across all agents.

You need an owner ID and a source manifest path to start coordinating multi-agent research. The system parses the manifest, validates ownership, handles race-safe claiming, and records evidence provenance for each agent's assigned research sources.

You should not use a source claim protocol when your research workflow involves only a single agent or when source manifests are not shared across sessions. It is designed specifically for multi-agent environments where duplicated analysis and conflicting edits are likely.
