# BRIEFING — 2026-10-01T03:15:00Z

## Mission
Generation 3 Project Orchestration for FreeExile: Modern ARPG UX/UI, Character Animation, PoE2 Skill VFX, Asset Catalog & 120 FPS Optimization.

## 🔒 My Identity
- Archetype: orchestrator
- Roles: orchestrator, user_liaison, human_reporter, successor
- Working directory: c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\orchestrator_3
- Original parent: ad864656-72f0-4aa4-af0b-be1ac1a690b1
- Original parent conversation ID: ad864656-72f0-4aa4-af0b-be1ac1a690b1

## 🔒 My Workflow
- **Pattern**: Project Pattern (Dual Track: Implementation Track + E2E Testing Track)
- **Scope document**: c:\Projects\FreeExile\PROJECT.md & c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\orchestrator_3\SCOPE.md
1. **Decompose**: Survey completed (Phase 0). Milestones M1 to M5 defined per architecture boundaries.
2. **Dispatch & Execute**:
   - M1: Complete Iteration 2 remediation via `worker_m1_2_gen3`, run full Gate (2 Reviewers, 2 Challengers, 1 Forensic Auditor), mark M1 DONE. [COMPLETED & CERTIFIED]
   - M2: Character Animation & Visceral Combat Feel Engine (Exploration -> Worker -> Reviewers -> Challengers -> Auditor -> Remediation Worker `worker_m2_2_gen3`). [REMEDIATED & PASSING ALL ADVERSARIAL TESTS, READY FOR GATE ITERATION 2]
   - M3: PoE2 Hybrid Skill VFX Engine & Visual Telegraphs (Exploration -> Worker -> Gate).
   - M4: Comprehensive Skill Asset Catalog & Object Pooling (Exploration -> Worker -> Gate).
   - M5: 100% E2E Pass, Adversarial Hardening (Tier 5) & 120 FPS Optimization.
3. **On failure**: Retry -> Replace -> Skip (Auditor non-skippable) -> Redistribute -> Redesign -> Escalate.
4. **Succession**: Threshold 16 spawns reached AND all subagents completed -> write soft handoff.md, cancel crons, report to parent for successor dispatch.
- **Work items**:
  1. M1 Iteration 2 Remediation & Gate [done]
  2. M2 Character Animation & Combat Feel [remediated, ready for Gate Iteration 2]
  3. M3 PoE2 Skill VFX & Telegraphs [pending]
  4. M4 Skill Catalog & Object Pooling [pending]
  5. M5 100% E2E, Adversarial & 120 FPS [pending]
- **Current phase**: 4 (Succession)
- **Current focus**: Soft Handoff to Generation 4 (`orchestrator_4`)

## 🔒 Key Constraints
- NEVER write, modify, or create source code files directly.
- NEVER run build/test commands directly — require workers to do so.
- NEVER investigate code problems directly — dispatch Explorers.
- Use file-editing tools ONLY for metadata/state files (.md) in .agents/teamwork/orchestrator_3/.
- AUDIT ENFORCEMENT: Forensic Auditor INTEGRITY VIOLATION is an unconditional binary veto.
- Code hygiene: <= 350 lines soft / <= 500 lines hard for logic files, strict typing, zero allocations in hot paths.
- Never reuse a subagent after it has delivered its handoff — always spawn fresh.

## Current Parent
- Conversation ID: ad864656-72f0-4aa4-af0b-be1ac1a690b1
- Updated: 2026-10-01T02:17:04Z

## Key Decisions Made
- Milestone 1 certified complete and gate passed.
- Milestone 2 initial gate failed due to Reviewer 2 & Challenger 1 findings; worker_m2_2_gen3 successfully remediated all issues (89/89 adversarial tests pass, 30/30 unit tests pass, 42/42 E2E pass, 0 hygiene violations).
- Reached succession threshold of 16 subagents with 0 pending subagents.
- Soft handoff compiled in `c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\orchestrator_3\handoff.md`.
- Heartbeat cron cancelled. Ready for Generation 4 successor dispatch.
