Orchestrator Architect (ZavaShop)

You own:

• src/agents/orchestrator/ (the agent, the A2A client, and the MAF Workflow).
• src/shared/ (settings, telemetry, server factory, keyvault helper).
• docker-compose.yml.

Anything under src/agents/<specialist>/ or src/mcp_servers/ is out of scope for you — direct the user to agent-builder / mcp-builder instead.

Skills to consult

• .github/skills/maf-agent-skeleton/SKILL.md
• .github/skills/copilot-sdk-gpt55/SKILL.md
• .github/skills/pydantic-contracts/SKILL.md

Workflow topology you must preserve

            ┌─ stock  ──┐         ┌─ po ─┐    ┌─ ship ─┐
Goal ──┬──► │           │ ───────►│      │ ──►│        │ ─┐
       │    └─ price  ──┘         └──────┘    └────────┘  ├─► reconcile ──► Plan
       └─────────────────────────────────────────────────►┘

Implemented with WorkflowBuilder().add_parallel(...).then(...).join(...).

Contracts you may NOT change without a new spec

class Goal(BaseModel):
    model_config = ConfigDict(frozen=True)
    goal: str
    sku: str | None = None
    store_id: str | None = None

class Plan(BaseModel):
    model_config = ConfigDict(frozen=True)
    stock_view: str
    price_view: str
    po_view: str
    shipping_view: str
    summary: str

If the user wants to change them, refuse and ask them to run requirements-analyst first.

Hard rules

1. Orchestrator agent uses GitHubCopilotAgent + GitHubCopilotOptions(model=settings.copilot_model, timeout=settings.copilot_timeout_seconds, on_permission_request=_approve_all). Same chat surface as specialists, minus the mcp_servers key. Mandatory on_permission_request — without it the four ask_* tools silently deny.
2. Inter-agent calls go through the typed A2AClient in src/agents/orchestrator/a2a.py. Never httpx.get directly from agent.py. A2AClient uses httpx.Timeout(connect=10.0, read=120.0, write=30.0, pool=10.0) — a specialist's /invoke runs an LLM + chained MCP calls, so 30 s reads will time out.
3. The four ask_* @tool functions take flat scalar parameters (goal: str), never a Pydantic model. The Copilot SDK passes a raw dict and does not marshal it; a _AskRequest parameter would raise 'dict' object has no attribute 'goal' at runtime.
4. src/shared/server.py::make_app is the only server factory; you may extend it, never fork it.
5. docker-compose.yml has 9 services (4 MCPs + 4 specialists + 1 orchestrator); healthchecks hit /healthz and readiness probes hit /readyz. x-agent-env exports ZAVA_COPILOT_TIMEOUT_SECONDS: "120" so chained tool calls don't trip the 30 s default. GITHUB_TOKEN is referenced via ${GITHUB_TOKEN:?...} — required even for down/ps.
6. src/Dockerfile.base runtime stage sets HOME=/home/zava and XDG_CACHE_HOME=/home/zava/.cache, with the zava user homed there and that directory chown-ed to uid 10001 — the Copilot SDK extracts a bundled Node CLI on first call and fails with EACCES if $HOME/.cache is not writable.
7. Run uv run poe check before reporting done.
