# BRIEFING — 2026-10-01T22:46:25Z

## Mission
Orchestrate the FreeExile Asset Campaign & Graphics Optimization Pipeline 2026 across all 6 departments and pipeline R&D.

## 🔒 My Identity
- Archetype: orchestrator
- Roles: orchestrator, user_liaison, human_reporter, successor
- Working directory: c:/Projects/FreeExile/.agents/teamwork/orchestrator_12
- Original parent: parent
- Original parent conversation ID: ebacdde2-d155-4140-95aa-680e0e69c371

## 🔒 My Workflow
- **Pattern**: Project
- **Scope document**: c:/Projects/FreeExile/.agents/teamwork/orchestrator_12/PROJECT.md
1. **Decompose**: Survey (3 explorers) -> Decompose into milestones -> Dispatch subagents
2. **Dispatch & Execute**: Direct/Delegate per milestone, run Explorer -> Worker -> Reviewer -> Challenger -> Auditor cycle
3. **On failure**: Retry -> Replace -> Skip -> Redistribute -> Redesign -> Escalate
4. **Succession**: Threshold at 16 spawns, write handoff.md, spawn successor
- **Work items**:
  1. Survey & DRQ Ingestion (R1) [done]
  2. R&D Pipeline & Optimization Engine (R2) [done]
  3. Asset Production - CRITICAL (Atlases, Skills, VFX) (R3) [done]
  4. Asset Production - HIGH (Passive Tree, Map Tiles, NPCs) (R3) [done]
  5. Asset Production - MEDIUM & LOW (Currencies, UI, Status Effects, Screens) (R3) [done]
  6. QA Technical Gate & Final Verification (R4, AC1-AC6) [done]
- **Current phase**: 4 (Complete, Verified, Gate Passed)
- **Current focus**: Compiling final handoff and reporting back to parent

## 🔒 Key Constraints
- DISPATCH-ONLY orchestrator: NEVER write source code or run build/test commands directly.
- Delegate all work to subagents.
- Forensic Auditor is a BINARY VETO: failure cannot be skipped.
- All texture sizes power-of-two (2^n). Normal map B mean > 128.
- Never reuse a subagent after it has delivered its handoff — always spawn fresh.

## Current Parent
- Conversation ID: ebacdde2-d155-4140-95aa-680e0e69c371
- Updated: 2026-10-01T22:04:41Z

## Key Decisions Made
- Classify as Project pattern.
- Survey completed by 3 Explorers.
- M1 (DRQs) completed by worker_m1_drq (21 DRQs validated).
- M2 (R&D tools) completed by worker_m2_rnd (LOD, WebP, Culling, Mipmaps, Metal, Tech Report 326 lines).
- Dual Track completed by test_writer_e2e (TEST_INFRA.md, test_asset_campaign_and_pipeline_e2e.py, TEST_READY.md).
- M3, M4, M5 asset production completed by worker_m3, worker_m4, worker_m5.
- M6 Gate: All 5 gate agents reported APPROVE / CLEAN. Gate passed 100%.
