Late game research does nothing (spoilers)

Project Domovoi (whatever it’s called - reduction in attack power of colonies in range of a mist repeller) does nothing - their attacks on havens are still at the exact same strength. The description for this research is also unclear on how it works so who knows, maybe it only affects colonies built outside of the mist where they can’t be built…?

From the horse’s mouth:

… can disorient the Pandoran forces, disrupting the communication and making it harder for them to coordinate their attacks.

BONUS EFFECTS:
Enemy bases within range of Mist Repellers suffer a 20% reduction in global attack strength.

This would mean that for a haven to be attacked inside a mist repelled zone, the enemy base would be within range. Or does it mean within range of the actual repeller haven? If the latter then Mist Repellers are basically useless, other than preventing an enemy base to be created in the range of the repeller.

I just witnessed a haven assault (within a mist repelled zone) that had an attacking force of 29. This means that the non-reduced attack force would be 36. Over the course of many playthroughs I have never seen an attacking force this large (on havens outside mist repelled zones).

EDIT: Highly suspect this research is bugged. Just observed a Pandoran attacking force of 30 inside a mist-repelled zone. This means the original attacking force would have been 38. The previous attack from this Pandoran base was on a haven outside the mist-repelled zone. The attacking force was 30!
