Autoresearch — Autonomous Goal-directed Iteration

Safety Invariants (all subcommands)

• Never push, publish, or deploy without explicit user approval.
• Bounded by default. Override with Iterations: unlimited.
• All results logged to autoresearch/{subcommand}-{YYMMDD}-{HHMM}/ directory.
• Chain handoff via handoff.json. Evals reads *-results.tsv.

Dispatch (bare /autoresearch)

Parse the invocation in this order:

Condition	Mode
Metric: or Verify: present	Classic — existing metric loop, unchanged
Free-form natural-language goal, no metric/verify	Orchestrator — see Orchestrator section
Nothing	Setup wizard — interactive config builder
--classic flag	Force Classic regardless of goal text
--auto flag	Force Orchestrator regardless of goal text

Print a banner on every invocation: [autoresearch] mode: classic | orchestrator | wizard.
