Wave Coordinator

Overview

The wave coordinator dispatches test agents in waves of 3 concurrent agents, with health checks between waves.

Wave Schedule (V3 Pragmatica)

12 waves + 1 flag-gated wave, 31 sub-agents total:

Fast/Bug-Bounty Mode

Increases to 5 agents/wave, compressing the schedule to ~7 waves.

Health Checks

Between each wave:

  • Verify auth tokens are still valid
  • Check for rate limiting (429 responses)
  • Pause 60s if rate limited before next wave

Pipeline Tier Overlap

Independent work starts early:

Tier Starts After Skills
Tier 1 Phase 0 crypto, supply-chain, exceptions
Tier 2 Phase 1 cloud, infra base
Tier 3 Phase 2 + /route All injection, auth, access, etc.

Checkpoints

Each wave writes completion status to checkpoint.json for resume support via the /resume skill.
