Automate research pipeline method design by orchestrating an Architect and Confirmer loop that enforces round limits, detects convergence, and coordinates handoff to Phase 2.

Coordinate Architect and Confirmer roles by running a round-based loop that manages initial runs and revisions, archives design versions, and surfaces Confirmer verdicts until ALL CLEAR.

Convergence detection in a method design loop works by applying exit checks to Confirmer verdicts, triggering a handoff to Phase 2 once all rounds receive an ALL CLEAR status.

This method design orchestration applies only when Phase 0 IDEA and EXPERIMENT_SETUP already exist and Phase 1 has not yet converged, covering initial runs and revisions.

If the Architect and Confirmer reach a deadlock during method design, the orchestration handles exit checks and provides escalation paths for the deadlock while logging outputs for audit.

A Phase 1 method design loop may run without converging if round limits are not enforced properly, requiring escalation paths for deadlock or manual review of archived design versions.
