Research direction

The issue mentions predicate parsing and data structures but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the predicate parser and representation in the C utilities, then trace how AND, OR, and NOT are evaluated. Done means arbitrarily nested combinations parse and evaluate correctly, with tests covering the supported nesting.
