# BRIEFING — 2026-10-04T09:05:00Z

## Mission
Orchestrate end-to-end development and verification of CharacterStatAggregator (combining base stats, inventory item affixes, and Meridian passives with flat/percent/tag/conditional modifiers), formula SQLite persistence, server engine loop integration, and comprehensive test suite.

## 🔒 My Identity
- Archetype: orchestrator
- Roles: orchestrator, user_liaison, human_reporter, successor
- Working directory: c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\orchestrator_21
- Original parent: parent
- Original parent conversation ID: 88d38a25-8224-4414-96f1-5d05962c8b3e

## 🔒 My Workflow
- **Pattern**: Project
- **Scope document**: c:\Projects\FreeExile\PROJECT.md
1. **Decompose**: Survey via 3 parallel explorers -> Milestone decomposition -> Dual track (implementation & E2E testing)
2. **Dispatch & Execute**:
   - **Direct (iteration loop)**: Explorer -> Worker -> Reviewer -> Challenger -> Auditor -> Gate
   - **Delegate (sub-orchestrator)**: Spawn sub-orchestrator per milestone or track if needed
3. **On failure** (in this order): Retry -> Replace -> Skip -> Redistribute -> Redesign -> Escalate
4. **Succession**: At 16 spawns, write handoff.md, spawn successor
- **Work items**:
  1. Survey & Architecture [done]
  2. Stat Aggregator Core (CharacterStatAggregator) [done]
  3. Formula SQLite Persistence [done]
  4. Server Engine Loop Integration [done]
  5. E2E & Unit Test Suite Verification [done]
- **Current phase**: 4 (Delivery & Handoff)
- **Current focus**: Prepare handoff.md and final report to parent

## 🔒 Key Constraints
- DISPATCH-ONLY orchestrator: Delegate all code/build/investigation to subagents via invoke_subagent.
- Never write, modify, or create source code files directly.
- Never run build/test commands directly.
- Never investigate at the code level directly — dispatch Explorers.
- Only edit metadata/state files (.md) in .agents/teamwork/.
- Never reuse a subagent after handoff — always spawn fresh.
- Forensic Auditor CLEAN verdict is a mandatory binary gate.
- Adhere to GEMINI.md & AGENTS.md (mypy strict typing, dataclass slots, < 350-500 lines hygiene cap, negative baseline TDD, no mock cheating).

## Key Decisions Made
- Project Orchestrator orchestrator_21 initialized.
- Survey phase executed via 3 parallel explorers (`b4824206`, `e6639dbb`, `df7a51d5`).
- Unified stat architecture decomposed into `server/stats/` package (`stat_types.py`, `formula_persistence.py`, `stat_aggregator.py`).
- Pre-flight blast radius unlocked via `--ack` on `server_engine_loop.py`.
- Implementation executed by `worker_core_1` (`eb50d99f`), followed by dual Reviewers (`a6f38f42`, `506b0da5`), dual Challengers (`f8895e1d`, `a3026a64`), and Forensic Auditor (`76c17e41`).
- All gate criteria met with 100% PASS, unanimous APPROVE, and CLEAN forensic verdict.

## Succession Status
- Succession required: no
- Spawn count: 9 / 16
- Pending subagents: none
- Predecessor: none
- Successor: not yet spawned
- Predecessor: none
- Successor: not yet spawned

## Active Timers
- Heartbeat cron: 0c96a21c-3538-4869-84a2-2591717ce252/task-22 (recurring every 10m)
- Safety timer: Relying on reactive subagent messaging and heartbeat cron
- On succession: kill all timers before spawning successor
- On context truncation: run `manage_task(Action="list")` — re-create if missing
