Orchestrate

This is pattern documentation for running 20, 40, 60 agents in parallel without creating chaos. The strategies are mined from 597 real dispatches and map work type to orchestration pattern: research swarms for knowledge gathering (all background, each agent writes one doc), epic parallel builds for independent features (wave dispatch by subsystem), sequential pipelines for dependent work, parallel sweeps for the same transform across modules. The core insight is that most orchestration failures come from letting agents step on each other's files or dispatching without enough context for true parallelism. If you're scaling past 3 agents or thinking about fan-out patterns, this gives you the dispatch cadence, prompt structure, and background/foreground rules that actually work in production.
