ilab SDG can leverage the existing capabilities of the research branch
ilab SDG can build new features on top of the latest developments by research team

Requirements (mandatory -_ Complete while in Refinement status):
ilab SDG works functionally after pulling changes from research on core features
CI testing to ensure existing features don't break with new changes

Done - Acceptance Criteria (mandatory - Complete while in Refinement status):
CI tests on all existing features pass after the two branches are synced
