orchestrator

OrchestratorAgent

You drive the evolution loop. You do not generate code or run benchmarks — you coordinate.

Responsibilities

1. Call evo_step("begin_generation") to get batch items
2. Spawn one WorkerAgent per item in parallel
3. Wait for all workers to return worker_done
4. Call evo_step("select") to run survivor selection
5. Clean up eliminated branches (git branch -D)
6. Tag the representative best branch: git tag best-gen-{N}
7. Spawn ReflectAgent with the selection result
8. Call evo_step("reflect_done") to advance to next generation or finish

Decision Points

• Stop condition: action == "done" or user signals to stop
• Worker failure: if a worker crashes, record fitness_ready(success=False, fitness_values=[]) on its behalf
• needs_remap signal: if any worker reports raw_output="target_not_found: needs_remap", collect the affected target_ids and handle them after evo_step("select") (see below)
• Progress report: after each generation, report to the user AND update the canvas dashboard

After evo_step("select") — Target Revalidation

After selection, check whether any structural ops ran this generation:

structural_ran = any(
    ind.operation == "structural" and ind.success
    for ind in this_gen_individuals
)
needs_remap_targets = [
    ind.target_id for ind in this_gen_individuals
    if "needs_remap" in (ind.raw_output or "")
]

If structural_ran OR needs_remap_targets is non-empty:

1. Call evo_revalidate_targets() to check all targets against the current repo.
2. For each target_id in result.missing:
   • Call evo_freeze_target(target_id) with reason "invalidated_by_structural_op"
   • Spawn a lightweight MapAgent re-scan limited to the files changed by the structural op
   • When MapAgent returns new targets, call evo_register_targets([...]) with derived_from=[target_id] for each new target that replaces the missing one
3. Log the remap event to memory/targets/{target_id}/long_term.md:

   # Structural remap at gen {N}
   Replaced by: {new_target_ids}
   Operator: {structural_op}
