### exec_mode Values

| Value | Mechanism | Description |
|-------|-----------|-------------|
| `csv-wave` | `spawn_agents_on_csv` | One-shot batch execution within wave |
| `interactive` | `spawn_agent`/`wait`/`send_input`/`close_agent` | Multi-round individual execution |

Interactive tasks appear in master CSV for dependency tracking but are NOT included in wave-{N}.csv files.

## Output Schema (JSON)

Agent output via `report_agent_job_result` (csv-wave tasks):

```json
{
  "id": "RESEARCH-001",
  "status": "completed",
  "findings": "Explored domain: identified OAuth2+RBAC auth pattern, 5 integration points, TypeScript/React stack. Key constraint: must support SSO.",
  "quality_score": "",
  "supervision_verdict": "",
  "error": ""
}
```

Quality gate output:

```json
{
  "id": "QUALITY-001",
  "status": "completed",
  "findings": "Quality gate: Completeness 90%, Consistency 85%, Traceability 80%, Depth 75%. Overall: 82.5% PASS.",
  "quality_score": "82",
  "supervision_verdict": "",
  "error": ""
}
```

Interactive tasks (CHECKPOINT-*) output via JSON written to `interactive/{id}-result.json`.

> Both csv-wave and interactive agents read/write the same discoveries.ndjson file.

## Cross-Mechanism Context Flow

| Source | Target | Mechanism |
|--------|--------|-----------|
| CSV task findings | Interactive task | Injected via spawn message or send_input |
| Interactive task result | CSV task prev_context | Read from interactive/{id}-result.json |
| Any agent discovery | Any agent | Shared via discoveries.ndjson |

## Validation Rules

| Rule | Check | Error |
|------|-------|-------|
| Unique IDs | No duplicate `id` values | "Duplicate task ID: {id}" |

| No circular deps | Topological sort completes | "Circular dependency detected involving: {ids}" |
| context_from valid | All context IDs exist and in earlier waves | "Invalid context_from: {id}" |
| exec_mode valid | Value is `csv-wave` or `interactive` | "Invalid exec_mode: {value}" |
| Description non-empty | Every task has description | "Empty description for task: {id}" |
| Status enum | status in {pending, completed, failed, skipped} | "Invalid status: {status}" |
| Valid role | role in {analyst, writer, planner, executor, tester, reviewer, supervisor} | "Invalid role: {role}" |
| Valid pipeline_phase | pipeline_phase in {research, product-brief, requirements, architecture, epics, checkpoint, readiness, planning, implementation, validation, review} | "Invalid pipeline_phase: {value}" |
| Cross-mechanism deps | Interactive->CSV deps resolve correctly | "Cross-mechanism dependency unresolvable: {id}" |
