Roadmap relationship

This is architecture research for v2 Priority 5 — runtime unification, not a CEO-Agent-specific feature task.

Purpose

Review the single-agent and multi-agent application patterns for ideas that could improve CEO Agent's shared runtime architecture when Priority 5 begins.

Evaluation areas

• Runtime lifecycle and dependency injection
• Agent discovery and registration
• Message routing and state ownership
• Single-agent versus multi-agent execution boundaries
• Tool and skill invocation
• Memory, observability, failure recovery, and audit behavior
• Configuration and provider abstraction

Constraints

• Treat the repositories as architecture references, not import targets.
• Do not adopt patterns that bypass CEO Agent's capability, permission, approval, or audit contracts.
• Preserve Apache-2.0 attribution for anything directly reused or substantially derived.
• Do not implement runtime changes in this issue before Priority 5 starts.

Acceptance criteria

• Potentially useful patterns are mapped to specific CEO Agent runtime components.
• Tradeoffs and conflicts with the existing architecture are documented.
• Any recommended adoption includes a migration and test strategy.
• Findings are ready for review when Priority 5 runtime unification begins.
