Multi-agent routing and checkpoint persistence are validated by running a provided shell script against a local CAIPE stack. This end-to-end integration test verifies agent discovery, cross-agent context sharing, and MongoDB checkpoint isolation.

Yes, testing checkpoint persistence requires a running caipe-mongodb-dev instance. The local Docker Compose environment uses this database to verify that agent checkpoints are correctly stored, retrieved, and isolated across multiple agents.

End-to-end agent discovery is tested by simulating all 15 CAIPE agents and the supervisor in a local Docker Compose dev environment. This phase-based validation approach ensures every agent is discoverable and routing works correctly against the local UI.

Cross-agent context sharing tests are executed by running the validation script located under the persistence skills directory. The script validates the local Docker Compose stack, ensuring context is accurately shared and isolated between active agents.

Integration tests fail to verify agent checkpoints when environment variables are not properly set to enable all agents. The local Docker Compose dev environment requires specific environment configurations and a running MongoDB instance to successfully persist checkpoints.

Yes, you can validate cross-agent isolation without a server deployment by using the local Docker Compose dev environment. The testing process simulates the full multi-agent stack locally to ensure agent contexts remain properly isolated.
