Local Watch
Use this skill when research_agent.toml selects [execution].backend = "local" and the loop is monitoring a local run.
- watch local run metadata, process status, logs, and result files
- use
scripts/research_supervisor.py watch-backend --backend local
- treat
watch_status = "synced" as local evidence ready for reader or runner review; no remote sync is needed
- report failures as local process, log, heartbeat, or result problems, not SSH problems
- keep
local_evidence_paths pointing only to local files
