Three orchestration mechanisms from the Q00/ouroboros evaluation (#99):
- Goal ambiguity gate at task creation: a goal must name a target (URL,
domain, IPv4, localhost:port or absolute path) and reach a length floor,
else the API returns 400 before any token is spent. Deliberately
target-less goals opt out with the literal marker [targetless]. Guards
against the live failure where a goal naming no target sent every worker
to an unrelated asset.
- Consecutive-failure escalation on the task LLM chain: quota exhaustion
already advances the chain; now 3 consecutive non-quota call failures on
the same chain profile advance it too, with the true reason recorded.
Escalation-only by design (no auto-downgrade: mid-task model swaps risk
behavior drift; the operator keeps the manual chain reset).
- Stagnation surfacing in the planner overview: finished intents are
fingerprinted (case-folded, digits collapsed); a direction dispatched 3+
times with zero findings since its first attempt is flagged in a
self-describing stagnation_warning payload that instructs the planner to
diversify instead of grinding. Absent when nothing stagnates.
