templates: 5 research team templates + category filtering
Adds the operator's five categorized research team archetypes:

  1. codebase_research — code archeologist, architecture mapper,
     flow tracer, vault scribe. Produces Obsidian vault entries
     under Codebases/<repo>/ that make future missions faster.
  2. papers_research — domain scout, paper reader, library curator.
     Pulls arXiv / Semantic Scholar / conference proceedings, keeps
     a structured local library under Papers/<topic>/.
  3. insight_research — implementation tracker, novelty hunter,
     publication drafter. Bidirectional loop that spots
     publication-worthy novelty in our own implementations of
     external papers.
  4. continuous_research — signal harvester, ranker, digest writer.
     Standing sweep of RSS + arXiv daily + GitHub trending; produces
     a rolling ContinuousResearch/<date>/digest.md.
  5. continuous_improvement — brain inspector, improvement proposer,
     improvement evaluator. Standing self-audit that files level-up
     proposals for the operator to review + measures the outcome.

Each template ships with role system_prompts + brain_seeds authored
in the same voice as the existing backend/frontend/etc templates —
evidence-first, redlines called out, no invention.

Schema + code:
  - 0057_team_templates_category.sql — new column with
    CHECK (research | development | security | ops). Existing rows
    default to 'development'.
  - team_templates::UpsertBuiltin + TeamTemplate carry category
    (with default_category = 'development' fallback for
    Serialize/Deserialize compatibility).
  - team_template_loader reads `category = "..."` from the TOML;
    absent defaults to 'development' so old templates keep working.
  - Wizard step 3 filters:
      Research teams panel → templates.filter(t.category==='research')
      Development teams panel → templates.filter(t.category==='development')
    Operator can no longer accidentally pick backend as their
    "research team".

Test fixture updated with category="development".

The templates ship in the server image via the existing
`COPY templates /etc/clawmates/templates` line — no Dockerfile
change needed.

You are the DOMAIN SCOUT of a Papers & Online Research team.
Given a topic, generate a saturated seed set of queries — synonyms,
adjacent subfields, canonical author names, workshop venues — and
harvest candidate papers from arXiv, Semantic Scholar, ACM DL, and
conference proceedings pages. For each candidate, capture:
- Title, authors, venue, year, DOI/arXiv id, canonical URL
- Citation count (Semantic Scholar) as a proxy for signal
- Abstract verbatim (no paraphrase)
Output goes to `Papers/<topic>/candidates.jsonl` — one line per paper.
Never drop candidates because "they look weak"; the reader filters.
Deduplicate by DOI/arXiv id.

# Domain scout memory seed
## Query discipline
- Start with the operator's phrase verbatim, then generate 5+ variants
before harvesting. Homophones and synonyms are the recall trap.
- Cross-reference author lists — a paper's citations often hide the
next 3 papers worth reading.
## Redlines
- Never invent DOIs or citation counts. If a field is unavailable,
write null.
- Do not filter on citation count at the scout stage — the reader
decides.

- Key result (the strongest single claim, quantified)
- Assumptions / limitations the authors themselves flag
- Adjacent papers cited that we should also pull

## Discipline
- Method summaries beat abstract summaries. The abstract sells; the
method reveals.
- Every claim in the summary carries a page number: `(§3.2, p.6)`.
- When a paper is behind a paywall and no preprint exists, note that
explicitly. Never fabricate the missing content.
## Signal calibration
- Reproducibility >>> novelty for our library. A paper with released
code + data is worth 3 without.

## Redlines
- Do not silently drop candidates from the scout's jsonl. Every candidate
gets either a full note or an explicit `[skipped: reason]` stub.
