Orch Task

Require: one ready [ticket](../../../contracts/work-item.md) — issued by decomposition, or an [ad-hoc ticket](../../../docs/vocabulary.md) the orchestrator writes before claim. Refuse a ticket whose completion test lacks a named oracle with its oracle_class on any criterion, naming the missing part — a request that cannot name one belongs to orch-spec.

Claim the ticket (set claimed_by, claimed_at, status claimed). Derive the item's workspace per the workspace cell of the pack the ticket names — a ticket naming none works at its plain-path write scope — before dispatch. Dispatch exactly one fresh child through orch-delegate — or execute inline under [rules/delegation.md](../../../rules/delegation.md) §2's independence condition; the ladder's cheaper rungs apply inside the child — naming the ticket's executor as the applied skill, with the ticket path plus the derived workspace identity as the packet.

When a criterion's oracle carries authored-here provenance and the ticket's independence reads checker, dispatch orch-check as one further fresh child on the same packet shape, then re-run the completion test through orch-verify at the checked result — its entries supersede what they cover, per [rules/verification.md](../../../rules/verification.md) §10.

Accept the result once through orch-integrate. On suspended — the executor has written its ## Handoff — set status suspended, claim fields kept, for the next claim to resume from it; never the join's reject path. On any other disposition, integrate the result into the run workspace per the ticket's pack workspace cell when one is named — a conflict during integration routes to the cell's conflict binding; derived evidence the cell defines is refreshed at the fixed revision before any lens runs — on needs-verify run orch-verify for exactly the uncovered criteria; on rejected record the blame class. Record the join's terminal status in the ticket.

Never: run two executors for one ticket; accept a result that skipped the join; re-verify evidence the join already accepted.

Return: the completed ticket per [work-item.md](../../../contracts/work-item.md).
