A newer 'latest' manual path exists; the 4.3 versioned page is the one fetched here. Later Blender releases may have moved Rigify to an extension; not verified.

Evidence claims:
- [sourced_fact] Page title 'Rigify - Blender 4.3 Manual'; section headings include Introduction (Main Features, Enabling Add-on), Basic Usage, Bone Positioning Guide, Generated Rig Features, Creating Meta-rigs, Rig Types and Feature Sets, under Add-ons > Rigging. · source: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/4.3/addons/rigging/rigify/index.html
- [inference] A search result for the same manual describes Rigify as an add-on for automatic rigging built from modular components that ships with Blender (secondary description; page body text itself was not readable through the fetch tool). · source: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/4.3/addons/rigging/rigify/index.html
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
