+| **boolean-search** | Writes and refines Boolean (Terms-and-Connectors) searches for the legal research databases. It settles the governing law and the target database before writing a single connector — both change what the right terms and syntax are — then expands each concept with the cognates and synonyms that belong to that body of law. Hand it cases you already know are relevant and it works backward to a search that catches them, with a hit/miss table showing how each candidate does. Every run ends with a recommended search plus wider and narrower alternatives, so you can turn recall up or down. |

 - `_log.yaml` is the source of truth for portfolio state. Keep it clean.
 - Matter history is append-only. If something was wrong, note the correction as a new entry — don't edit the past.
 - Closed matters stay in `_log.yaml` (searchable history). `/portfolio-status` filters them out of active rollups by default.
+- **International arbitration:** `boolean-search` carries the arbitration research databases (Jus Mundi, Kluwer Arbitration, ITA Law) and investment-treaty vocabulary alongside the litigation databases, so it serves arbitration research today. A dedicated `arbitration-legal` plugin (Redfern Schedules, IBA Art. 3.3 requests, Art. 9.2 objections) is a possible future addition; for now the Boolean-search capability lives here.
