orchestrate

Multi-agent workflows are orchestrated by dispatching agent teams from an Agent Dispatch Manifest to execute plan batches in dependency-aware sequential and parallel order with built-in checkpoints.

An Agent Dispatch Manifest defines batch execution plans that manage agent swarms by routing tasks, enforcing branch and token budget checks, and validating agent status lines.

Safety and quality gates for automated code-writing pipelines are enforced through file-ownership verification, git change detection, contract validation, and token-budget checks applied during batch dispatching.

CAST orchestration supports resuming failed multi-agent CI workflows by logging routing and quality gate results to cast.db and using checkpoint logs to recover progress after failures.

Agent teams coordination is supported as an experimental integration point for parallel batch processing, alongside standard Agent tool dispatch, to coordinate complex feature delivery.

Agent dispatch fails during file-ownership and git change verification when the safety gates detect branch conflicts, missing files, or contract validation errors in the agent status lines.
