Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing group-selection and contact-list behavior in the Contacts app, then locate where group filtering is handled. Confirm that selecting multiple groups uses AND semantics and that the results include only contacts belonging to every selected group; verify the behavior with the app's existing tests or manual contact data.
