SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrator-degraded provides decision logic for handling dispatch failures in autonomous workflows, determining whether the orchestrator can self-correct or must enter degraded-inline mode.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hook-block disambiguation and recovery rules to distinguish between recoverable pre-condition failures and tool unavailability.
  • Decision path to retry, self-correct, or escalate to degraded mode while preserving integrity of the orchestration state.
  • Recovery workflow that records blockers and requires explicit user waivers before continuing in degraded-inline.

Quick Start

When a dispatch fails or is blocked, trigger the degraded-mode decision path to determine whether to self-correct or enter degraded-inline.

FAQPage Schema
How do I handle agent dispatch failures in an autonomous workflow?

When agent dispatch fails in an autonomous workflow, you can trigger a degraded-mode decision path to determine whether to self-correct the dispatch or escalate to degraded-inline mode.

What is degraded-inline mode for orchestrator recovery?

Degraded-inline mode is a recovery state for orchestrator dispatch failures where the system records blockers and requires explicit user waivers before continuing, ensuring normal workflow gates remain open until conditions are satisfied.

How do I distinguish between recoverable pre-condition failures and tool unavailability?

Hook-block disambiguation rules distinguish between recoverable pre-condition failures and tool unavailability during agent dispatch, guiding the orchestrator to retry, self-correct, or escalate to degraded mode.

Does the orchestrator require user waivers to continue in degraded mode?

Yes, the orchestrator requires explicit user waivers before continuing in degraded-inline mode, recording blockers and enforcing guardrails to ensure workflow gates remain open until recovery conditions are satisfied.

When should I escalate a blocked dispatch to degraded mode instead of retrying?

Escalate a blocked dispatch to degraded mode when hook-block disambiguation determines the failure is unrecoverable through retry or self-correction, requiring blocker documentation and user waivers to proceed safely.
