Orchestrator

Measured — state right now

Idle — nothing queued. A profile exists, its queue is empty and nothing is pending. Idle describes the queue, not a live process. This UI is not connected to a running agent and never starts one.

Derived state

Idle — nothing queued

Backend reason

no open job, no open card, nothing pending

Runtime attachment

Not connected — this UI holds no fleet runtime client, so it cannot observe liveness.

Mission (declared)

Turn a decision question from another sector into a scoped research plan with an explicit evidence standard, and refuse to return a brief the evidence cannot support.

Will not (declared, and enforced at the gate)

• return a brief as completed when the evidence standard was not met; it returns an insufficient_evidence_verdict with what is missing and what it would cost to get it
• average two conflicting sources into one number, or let a specialist do it; conflicts are preserved in the evidence map with both sides named
• assign a research job whose rotator cost it has not bounded — the 7 pooled keys are shared with marketing and sales
• write the finding itself; research.agent_3 is the sole author of an insight brief
• accept a question that is really a request to justify a decision already taken; it says so and returns the question rewritten

Skills deliberately withheld

• research — research.agent_2 owns the bundle (competitor-news-monitor, arxiv, llm-wiki, grounded-citations) as the sector's single source-gathering stack; the orchestrator sets the standard and judges against it
• web — research.agent_1 owns blocked-page recovery
• note-taking — research.agent_6 owns the corpus and its vault
• productivity — its notion sub-skill conflicts with the ERP being canonical, and research outputs are elisa.db rows
