What it does
Thin wrapper subagent that activates rpi-research for bounded Register 2 investigations and anchors results to a review board item
When to use it
Code Review dispatches Walkback when a bookmarked question needs investigation beyond a factual explanation. It activates bounded RPI Research and anchors the result to the originating board item. Use the parent workflow to select the question; the worker does not choose a new review scope.
Example usage
The parent supplies the board item, explicit research question and criteria, a trusted review evidence root, and register2ArtifactPath for a cancellation-race investigation. The worker returns the research and anchored investigation paths with unresolved evidence. Missing scope or invalid paths require clarification; unavailable research capability is reported as blocked rather than replaced with guessed conclusions.
