- Status: Completed
- Current Phase: Report Delivered & Orchestrator Notified

## Steps:
- [x] Step 0: Dispatch logging & briefing initialization
- [x] Step 1: Examine FreeExile codebase for Dual-Brain AI architecture (`agent_orb_service.py`, `agent_decision_core.py`, `llm_provider_client.py`, `server_engine_loop.py`, `combat_engine.py`, `movement_authority.py`, `isometric_math.py`, `agent_orb.js`, `agent_orb_types.js`, unit tests)
- [x] Step 2: Survey market benchmarks & state-of-the-art patterns (ARPG companion AI, 30-60Hz reflex systems, LLM decoupling, offline delegation, InZOI Smart Zoi, Where Winds Meet, PoE2, BitCraft)
- [x] Step 3: Deep dive into 4 core pillars (Reflex Layer, Macro Strategy Layer, Offline Delegation Loops, Comparative Matrix)
- [x] Step 4: Synthesize structured handoff report with Mermaid flowcharts, latency tables, mathematical formulas (`handoff.md`, 266 lines)
- [x] Step 5: Deliver handoff report and notify orchestrator via `send_message`
