dispatching-parallel-agents

Dispatching parallel agents lets you investigate and fix independent test failures concurrently. Instead of debugging sequentially, each agent focuses on a separate failing test file, drastically reducing total resolution time when failures are unrelated.

Use parallel agents when you have 3 or more independent failures across different files or subsystems that don't share dependencies. Each agent works on one focused problem with self-contained context, eliminating time wasted on sequential investigation.

Yes, parallel agents work on unrelated bugs across different subsystems simultaneously. Each agent receives a narrow, self-contained task scope, so problems in separate domains won't interfere with concurrent execution.

Parallel agent dispatch is most efficient for independent failures requiring no shared state or cross-domain dependencies. Assign each agent one failure domain, and they'll investigate and fix concurrently, completing the work in a single pass.

No. Parallel agents work best when failures are independent and each agent has self-contained context. Shared state or cross-domain dependencies require sequential handling; use this approach only for truly unrelated problems.
