Summary

The Research workflow is powerful but too dense on first entry, and there are duplicate accessible controls that create both UX and automation friction.

Evidence

Manual pass showed filters, quick note capture, uploads, memo editing, and packet review all rendered at once with no clear recommended sequence.
The page exposed two Upload file controls, one active and one disabled.
The e2e coverage-to-research flow hit a strict-mode conflict on NVDA status, indicating duplicated accessible controls in the broader workflow.

Expected

First-time users should have a guided path through the research workflow, and each interactive control should have one clear accessible target.

Acceptance Criteria

The Research page presents a clearer default progression or progressive disclosure.
Duplicate Upload file controls are removed or relabeled so there is one clear action.
Duplicated accessible controls in the coverage/research workflow are eliminated.
Keyboard and screen-reader users can unambiguously identify the primary actions.
