Swarm

Before delegating or using optional capabilities, read the runtime contract. It owns eligibility, model selection, limits, and fallback.

Coordinate isolated workers for routine batches whose interfaces and acceptance criteria the parent has decided. Prefer distinct slices; duplicate attempts require an explicit comparison request. The parent plans the work, handles difficult implementation, reviews results, and returns one report. Select narrow for search/tagging/mechanical lanes and complex for bounded implementation/debugging lanes, using the active client's route and fallback from the runtime contract for every worker.
