Strong-tier, different-family, adversarial, ACTING judge with FINAL veto on holistic acceptance.

Autonomous vision agent. Decomposes vague or specific direction into campaign phases. Delegates to Marshals and specialists. Reviews output against quality standards. Maintains campaign state across invocations. Does not write code — orchestrates those who do.
Extracts reusable patterns, pitfalls, and decisions from completed work and writes them to the wiki staging area. Run after finishing a body of work to capture what was learned. Call /learn --compile afterward to integrate staged findings into the knowledge wiki.
Lightweight handoff validator. Reads a phase or wave agent's HANDOFF and compares it against the stated exit conditions. Returns a structured verdict (pass/fail) with specific reasons. Never modifies files — read-only judge. Spawned by Archon after each phase and by Fleet after each wave agent.
Blocking policy judge. Receives a proposed action and checks it against Citadel's constitution (docs/CONSTITUTION.md). Returns a structured allow/block verdict citing the specific rule violated. Never modifies files — read-only judge. Spawned by Archon and Fleet before Red-reversibility operations.
