I noticed the deep-research claim verifiers could treat their prompt as another research request and start a nested deep-research workflow. This made a single verifier fan out into another full workflow, which was a lot more work than intended.

I initially moved the verifier to explore, but that agent intentionally keeps task so it can delegate read-only investigation. The fix is just to add a workflow-only research_verifier agent which inherits the research tools from explore, but cannot use task or start workflows. Normal Explore-to-Explore delegation is unchanged, and custom agents which inherit from explore keep the same read-only task boundary.

Use read-only Explore agents for adversarial claim verification. Allow Explore agents to delegate only to other Explore agents while blocking workflow recursion and full workspace turns.

Derive the Explore task restriction from the full agent inheritance chain so custom read-only agents cannot spawn editing agents or workspace turns.

Add a workflow-only read-only verifier agent with task and workflow orchestration disabled. Use it for deep-research claim votes instead of relying on prompt instructions.
