Retrieve relevant entries from the local predictive knowledge base as a lightweight preflight for repository work. Use route-first retrieval: infer the task direction, then search by domain path and cross-index before relying on flat keyword matching. In Codex, prefer a scout sidecar before non-trivial work and a recorder sidecar after work when sub-agents are available. Treat "no relevant entry" as useful signal, not a reason to skip the scan up front.
