-- **Agent implementations are stubs**: All 18 agents return success immediately. Real LLM-based agent implementations are needed for research, planning, execution, and verification.
+- **Agent implementations**: 5 core agents have intrinsic logic (planner, executor, verifier, researcher, tester); 13 agents delegate to backends. Full LLM-powered agent behavior requires an intelligence backend.
