""" TeCoxBeta — orchestrator/subagent research brain. Architecture follows the pattern that measurably wins on breadth-first research (Anthropic's orchestrator-worker: +90.2% over single agent, with token spend explaining ~80% of the quality variance): LEAD plans -> N SUBAGENTS run in parallel, each with its OWN context -> each returns a condensed, citation-preserving digest -> LEAD synthesizes only the digests Two hard-won rules baked in: * "Lost in the middle" — recall is ~90% at the context edges and 50-70% in the centre. So evidence is INTERLEAVED best-first-then-last (the strongest sources sit at both boundaries, the weakest in the middle), and the question is repeated at the very end of every prompt. * Context is huge but not free. Rewind accepts 300k+ chars, yet models reliably use only ~60% of an advertised window. Subagent isolation keeps any single context lean while total token spend — the thing that actually predicts quality — goes way up.
