When did LtW join the White Council?

And it's not even than he had not managed to find much - it's like - we don't see him even trying, not being pro-active at all.

Yeah, well, someone keeps throwing distractions in his face...

Exactly what should he be researching? He built LC. He's done multiple iterations of his wards and tools. He took on an apprentice. He built a bug out retreat. He's obviously increased his level of understanding about the abilities of Demonreach. He's honed his personal skills. He also created and supported the Paranet. He made a living using his craft. When he does ask the question of the roster of people whom might know he gets crickets. Jim has been fairly consistent about this.

Indeed - but it's all self-improvement, not pro-active stance against some Big Bad Conspiracy - or Conspiracies - he is concious about since Dead Beat, and in fact Blood Rites where his mother's lover/murderer use the same Outsider Walker as his master should ring the bell.
At least since Dead Beat he should seriously delve in investigation - and there are multiple sources that could be used. Vast array of supernatural forces, spirits, and even muggle specialists.

The evil part of me says that it is this way since Jim needs to milk the concept to pay for his lifestyle.
However. In the books there is a price to pay for asking the kind of questions that he would need to ask. And he may not want to pay that price. Even his allies don't share what they know. And the one year skip between books is history. And in his wisdom Harry picked up a child. And parents should know what that does to your time budget. My head canon is that he has been doing a slow methodical search, which to this point hasn't borne much fruit.
Wicked Woodpecker of West:
You know, I do not even need for him to get a result.
But I want to know he is really, really trying - and failing, because either prices is too high, or theoreticall allies keeps him obfuscated and gaslighted. And it can even stronger push his wizard paranoia.
Really Jim could just read this board or one of FB groups, write down theories good and bad, and just make Dresden consider all of them, and make mad graphs
