Councils Pipeline

Flynn supports a deterministic dual-council orchestration pipeline (council.run) that runs two isolated groups (D, P) through ideation, assessment, grounding, bridge exchange, and meta merge.

Guarantees

  • Bridge-only cross-council communication.
  • Strict JSON schemas for artifacts (.strict() validation).
  • Deterministic orchestrator-owned idea IDs (D.r1.01, P.r2.03, ...).
  • Canonical JSON serialization for hashing and reproducibility.
  • Deterministic writer-side brief + diff generation (model does not write diffs).

Key Artifacts

  • IdeaCard (content + optional grounding, schema versioned)
  • IdeaAssessment (scores/decision per idea_id, schema versioned)
  • CouncilBrief (v1/v2 group artifact)
  • BridgePacket (whitelisted transfer contract)
  • CouncilDiff (code-computed deterministic diff)
  • MetaSelection (JSON-only selection/merge record)
  • CouncilRunResult (pipeline_version, hashes, trace, stop snapshot)

Tool Interface

council.run input:

{
  "task": "string",
  "constraints": "object|string?",
  "success_definition": "string?",
  "budget": "object?",
  "timebox": "string|number?",
  "output_format": "string?",
  "max_rounds": "number?",
  "session_id": "string?"
}

Determinism Notes

  • prompt_payload_hash is computed from canonical JSON payload passed to model.
  • artifact_hash is computed from canonical validated artifact JSON.
  • Trace ordering is deterministic (phase_index, then call_id), independent of async completion order.

Safety Rules

  • Unknown schema keys are rejected.
  • Meta stage may reference existing IDs only.
  • Bridge packets are parse+validate+whitelist+re-serialize before exchange.
  • On bridge validation failure, phase 2 is skipped (fail closed).
