-Each stage is executed by `OrchestratorAgent.executeStage()`. The orchestrator iterates through `STAGE_ORDER` and collects `PhaseResult` for each.
+Each stage is executed by `OrchestratorAgent.executeStage()`. The orchestrator delegates intelligent stages (research, plan, execute, verify) to specialized agents via `context.backend` when available, falling back to mechanical execution when no backend is configured. Mechanical stages (specify, clarify, complete) are always handled by the orchestrator directly.

CI	940b85bfae	feat(backends): multi-backend intelligence layer — LLM + Agent backends, persona-loading agents, honest CLI commands Add IntelligenceBackend abstraction with two categories: - LLMBackend (OllamaLocal, OllamaCloud): CI runs tool loop, provides tools, constructs prompts - AgentBackend (Opencode): agent runs own tool loop, CI serializes request Refactor all 18 agents from hardcoded stubs to persona loaders that delegate to the active backend or fail honestly when no backend is available. Refactor OrchestratorAgent.executeStage() from monolithic switch to agent delegation via STAGE_AGENT_MAP for intelligent stages (research, plan, execute, verify), with mechanical stages (specify, clarify, complete) staying inline. Wire CLI commands with --backend flag and auto-detection (opencode → ollama-local → ollama-cloud). Harden rollback/ship with real git operations. No command returns fake success.	2026-05-29 15:58:34 +00:00
