Execution escalation reference
Default: Main handles the task directly.
Escalate only when the task already needs it:
| Mechanism | When |
|---|---|
| Child | One bounded subsystem, reference repo, or question needs isolated context |
| Parallel workers | Independent slices with isolated writes (worktrees or non-overlapping files) |
| RLM | Context still binding after partition (Pi Fabric runner) |
| Actor | Persistent responsibility outside a one-shot task |
| Alternate model | Reasoning capability is the gap (model-resolution) |
Hard constraints: investigator/reviewer roles read-only; workers write only declared scope; parallel workers do not share writable paths.
Mechanics: fabric-native-execution, model-resolution, veda-lane.
Evidence sourcing stays separate (evidence-router).
