Orchestrate: restore the model-family verifier rule and the path for runtimes without nested agents #265

Closed

Description

Current scope

Two defects the 0.15.36 sync introduced in plugins/pstack/skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/orchestrate.md:

  1. Line 13 says each PR's verifier is "on a different provider". Upstream says "on a different model family" (cursor/main:pstack/skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/orchestrate.md:13). With a native-only sheet, such as Claude Opus and Sonnet, no different provider exists, so the required verifier pass is unattainable. Found by Unfret on sync: Cursor pstack 0.15.36 as Open Pstack 1.17.0 (#262) #264 (v1:89d286e5…).
  2. Line 11 assigns workers to a sub-coordinator, but on Claude Code a subagent cannot start agents (pstack's native lanes deny Agent and Task). The 1.16.0 playbook said a sub-coordinator spawns its workers "where the runtime lets a subagent spawn one" and gave the other path; the rewrite dropped it. Found by Greptile on sync: Cursor pstack 0.15.36 as Open Pstack 1.17.0 (#262) #264.

Acceptance:

  • The verifier rule says a different model family, as upstream does.
  • Where a subagent cannot start agents, the coordinator starts the sub-coordinator's workers; the sub-coordinator writes their kickoffs and reads their results. Put the harness fact in codex-tools.md if it is not already there, per AGENTS.md's mapping-boundary rule.
  • Gates pass; live gate per verify-open-pstack.

    Batch 262 closeout for this issue (full record: https://github.com/mobilyze-llc/docs/blob/main/projects/open-pstack/records/2026-11-06-batch-262/closeout.md):

    #265: Orchestrate verifier family and the path for runtimes without nested agents

    Fix-forward for #264 (Unfret 89d286e5 and a Greptile thread). PR #266, merged head a2474ff approved. Verifier rule back to "model family"; where a subagent cannot start agents, the coordinator starts a sub-coordinator's workers; the harness fact is in codex-tools.md. Live: skill-invocation:poteto-mode in both harnesses.
