Orchestration Research Handoff 2026-05-06

Objective

Preserve the context of the May 2026 research scan and provide a prioritized roadmap for hardening the vault's protocol and coordination notes.

Completed in this Session

  • Research Synthesis: Synthesized 00_Raw/2510.01171v3.pdf into lit-verbalized-sampling-paper.
  • Diversity Depth: Hardened verbalized-sampling with technical implementation patterns and created agent-diversity-scaling (Sampler-Worker pattern).
  • MOC Wiring: Updated multi-agent-patterns-moc with *Diversity-Aware Orchestration*.
  • Global Scan: Conducted a web search identifying critical May 2026 updates:
      • MCP v2: Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1, and the *Tasks* primitive.
      • A2A v1.0: Stability reached; Signed Agent Cards and AP2 (Payments) protocols launched.
      • Modular RAG: Shift toward Adaptive Routing, Self-RAG, and Hyperbolic (Poincaré) Embeddings.
      • MAK-CHK: Emergence of the *Maker-Checker / Debate* pattern for hallucination mitigation.

Recommended Next Batches

1. Protocol Stability (Priority: High)

Update the core infrastructure notes to reflect 2026 production standards.

  • MCP v2: Harden mcp-transport (Streamable HTTP) and mcp-authorization (OAuth 2.1).
  • A2A v1.0: Update a2a-protocol with signing specs and create a note for AP2 (Agent Payments).
  • The Pivot: Create a bridge note: MCP (Vertical/Tools) + A2A (Horizontal/Peers).

2. Advanced Retrieval (Priority: Medium)

Transition the vault's retrieval strategy from "Naive" to "Agentic."

  • Create modular-rag-hub: Document Adaptive Routing and Self-RAG critique loops.
  • Hyperbolic Depth: Create a literature note on *Hyperbolic Embeddings* for hierarchical data.
  • Graph-Agent Hybrid: Detail patterns for coupling *GraphRAG* with agentic planners.

3. Coordination Hardening (Priority: Medium)

Refine architectural guidance in the multi-agent-patterns-moc.

  • MAK-CHK: Create a permanent note for the Maker-Checker / Debate Pattern.
  • Shared Memory: Document RAG-backed Shared Context (Blackboard) architectures.
