Great post!

One thing I've been experimenting with in my own agent orchestration system is an agent that hangs around and does post-merge acceptance testing after the work ships. Any plans to add a follow-up phase? Travel nurse?

That's a very interesting idea. Sounds more like a "routine follow-up" in the medical model.
