gemini-advisor-board

Run `phase-loop advisor-board <artifact>` from the command line, or in-process call compose_review_board() and pass the result to invoke_board with artifact_ref pointing at your review bundle. Each leg returns a verdict of AGREE, PARTIALLY AGREE, or DISAGREE.

Use context_refs with a list of file paths for true by-reference mode. The runtime stages only a path and metadata manifest, and each leg opens the files with its own local tools, so raw contents never enter the prompt bundle.

Board composition is availability-aware: vendors not on PATH or not authenticated are dropped, and their seats are backfilled onto available vendors with different review lenses. The board still targets 4 seats and never collapses to 1-2 reviewers.

A TIMEOUT means either heartbeat extinction (no output or CPU progress for 180s) or a hard wall-clock deadline fired. Check for a [leg-liveness] stall marker to distinguish a silent stall from a deadline expiry, since they are diagnosed and retried differently.

Set it only when policy requires an absolute ceiling on an actively progressing leg, since it replaces the default backstop and kills the leg even mid-progress. Stalls are already handled by heartbeat extinction, so omit it by default.

Yes, opt in with ResearchPolicy(enabled=True). The runtime requires the published pmcp==1.20.0 scoped_advisor_audit.v1 capability and exposes only audited Firecrawl and Bright Data research tools, with seats that cannot enforce the profile failing closed.
