+# B-0068.1 — Forge CLI + Ollama research slice
+
+## Why (atomic child of B-0068)
+
+B-0068 is the umbrella for local AI trajectory. This is the smallest atomic first child: pure research on Forge CLI current version, supported models, and Ollama native bridge. No implementation, no install, no code. Per Otto-247 version-currency and search-first authority, every model/harness claim starts with fresh WebSearch.
+
+This slice unblocks B-0068.2 (hardware/model selection) and B-0068.3 (smoke test) by providing the capability matrix.
+
+## What (bounded scope)
+
+- WebSearch "Forge CLI latest release 2026" + "Forge CLI Ollama integration"
+- Capture: current version, supported local model surface, Ollama bridge docs, hardware requirements
+- Land findings as research-grade doc under docs/research/ with archive header (GOVERNANCE §33)
+- No code, no scripts, no install, no PR beyond this research landing
+- Explicit non-scope: no model install, no direct integration, no harness wiring
+
+## Focused check outcome (included per task rule)
+
+- Root checkout build gate (dotnet build -c Release): transient MSB4166 child-node exit (known MSBuild parallel flake, 0 code warnings/errors before cancel; 4 termination warnings only)
+- Worktree focused: dotnet build src/Core -c Release (assets missing as expected for fresh worktree; no code changes yet)
+- No pre-existing Forge or Ollama references in docs/backlog/P2/ or tools/ (verified via rg before write)
+- Decomposition re-applied: B-0068 umbrella assumed too broad → first child is research-only to keep velocity without committing to stack
+
+## Evidence links
+
+- Parent: docs/backlog/P2/B-0068-local-ai-trajectory-forge-ollama-direct-integration-aaron-2026-04-28.md
+- Otto-247 version-currency rule
+- .claude/rules/search-first-authority.md
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- Any implementation or install
+- Model selection (next child)
+- Direct integration paths (path 3 of umbrella)
