+## Tests
+
+### 1. SearXNG live query
+expected: SearXNGClient.Search returns real results from http://10.5.0.129:8080
+result: [pending — needs runtime test]
+
+### 2. NL search end-to-end
+expected: Type "show me all 10GbE NICs" in dashboard, see filtered results
+result: [pending — needs Gemma 4 running on Mac Mini]
+
+### 3. Research agent enrichment cycle
+expected: Item with catalog_status=needs_research is enriched with SearXNG data and advances to researched after 10min
+result: [pending — needs real items + Tier 2 OpenRouter key]
+
+## Summary
+
+total: 3
+pending: 3
+
+## Gaps
+
+Requires Gemma 4 running on Mac Mini for NL search and OpenRouter key for Tier 2 enrichment.

+# Phase 7 Verification
+
+## Goal
+Items flagged needs_research are automatically enriched by a SearXNG research agent, and any inventory question can be answered via natural language search.
+
+## Code-Level Verification (Complete)
+
+| # | Success Criterion | Status | Evidence |
+|---|------|--------|----------|
+| 1 | needs_research items auto-enriched by SearXNG → researched | ✓ | `internal/research/agent.go` RunOnce + 10min ticker |
+| 2 | Natural language search returns filtered inventory | ✓ | `internal/api/handlers/search.go` Tier1 NL→filter translation |
+| 3 | SearXNG queries sanitized | ✓ | `SanitizeQuery` regex `[^a-zA-Z0-9 .\-_]+` |
+
+## All 2 Requirements Covered
+AI-04 (SearXNG research) + UI-03 (NL search) — implemented and tested.
+
+## Test Results
+- `go test ./...` — all packages pass
+- `cd web && npm run build` — clean
+
+## Human Verification Required
+
+1. Real SearXNG end-to-end test (SearXNG is live at 10.5.0.129:8080 — no auth needed)
+2. Real Gemma 4 NL→filter parsing accuracy
+3. Live needs_research enrichment cycle (requires real items in needs_research state + Tier 2 OpenRouter key)
+
+## Status
+`human_needed` — code complete, requires live LLM and real inventory data for end-to-end validation.
