Swarm Orchestrator
Independent verification battery for patches written by AI coding agents. Wraps GitHub Copilot CLI, Claude Code, or Codex; runs each agent-authored patch through a five-layer falsification battery (intent, regression, solution quality, behavioral, provenance) on isolated git branches before merge.

Features
- Five-layer falsification battery: differential gating, mutation testing, semantic cheat detection, property-based testing, signed SLSA attestation
- Worker/reviewer execution model on isolated git worktrees
- Static dependency analyzer for safe parallelism (the planner does not declare independence; the analyzer detects it)

- Audit-ready run artifacts in runs/<execution-id>/
