Phase 2: Progressive Escalation - Meta-Orchestration

[silversurfer562]

Phase 2: Meta-Orchestration (Week 2)

Epic: Progressive Tier Escalation System (v4.1.0)
Dependencies: #25 (Phase 1)

Overview

Implement the meta-orchestrator that makes intelligent escalation decisions and creates dynamic agent teams.

Tasks

• Implement MetaOrchestrator class (basic structure complete)
• Build XML-enhanced prompt templates
• Implement failure analysis logic
• Create dynamic agent team composition
• Implement context passing between tiers (Option B)
• Write integration tests

Key Features

• Stagnation Detection: <5% improvement × 2 consecutive runs
• Tier-Specific Prompts: Different prompts for cheap/capable/premium
• Failure Pattern Analysis: Group failures by type (async, mocking, syntax)
• Agent Team Evolution:
  • Cheap: Single generator
  • Capable: Generator + Analyzer
  • Premium: Generator + Analyzer + Reviewer

Deliverables

• MetaOrchestrator with all decision logic
• XML prompt templates for all tiers
• Agent team composition working
• Context passing tested
• 30+ integration tests

Acceptance Criteria

• Stagnation detection works correctly
• XML prompts include failure context from lower tiers
• Escalation decisions are objective and reproducible
• Agent teams are created dynamically based on tier
