📖About & Usage
Owner agent — accountability this droid serves
CAROL-INI-380 — distinct from Merlin's Foreman (which catches dead processes); this droid catches idle gaps where nothing is broken but nothing is running either
Droid responsibility
Keep an active initiative moving when one agent has finished their part but the next agent hasn't started theirs. Watches three handover gaps: (A) Albus filed a bypass that nobody dispatched, (B) phase plan steps done but reviewer not invoked, (C) reviewer said continue but next phase plan not authored. Each detected gap is auto-dispatched where safe, otherwise surfaced on the operator queue.
What the droid actually does
On a 30s timer, scan parked-pending-bypass pairs and auto-enqueue planned bypasses (gap A); scan active initiatives with all phase steps done but no review and surface a reviewer-pending row (gap B); scan active initiatives with continue verdict but no next-phase plan and surface a planner-pending row (gap C); record sentinel decision rows for idempotency.
Boundaries
Idempotent: every action checks for a sentinel decision row before firing. Only auto-fires dispatch enqueues (the cheap, safe path); reviewer + planner invocations are surfaced via dispatch_queue needs_attention rather than auto-fired in v1.
