Orchestrate — Out-of-Session Instrument Lane

When work escalates outside the in-session loop, start with deterministic instruments — not a parallel spawn manual.

Procedure

1. Route — ao orchestrate route --json (or --writers N --models opus,codex,agy)
2. Preflight — ao orchestrate preflight --profile <name> --json
3. Spawn — follow the profile in docs/contracts/orchestration-profiles.yaml using raw atm (human procedure; see using-atm / dual-pane-atm)
4. Verify — ao orchestrate verify --session <name> --profile <name> --json

Profiles contract is SOT; skills are drift-gated procedure, not CLI replacements.
