Role Dispatch

Role dispatch maps a task to a specialist role and provider runner. Craik ships built-in roles for orchestrator, implementer, verifier, adversarial reviewer, policy reviewer, docs reviewer, memory curator, and adjudicator.

Policy Requirements

Role dispatch is policy-bound. A policy must explicitly allow role IDs or role kinds through allowed_agent_role_ids or allowed_agent_role_kinds; a stock strict envelope does not permit all roles by default.

Runner overrides are also policy-bound. Passing a caller-supplied runner requires the role.runner.override capability in the policy envelope.

Receipts

Dispatch decisions produce role.dispatch receipts naming the role, role kind, runner id, and runner mode. Denied receipts record the missing allowlist, denied role, or capability conflict.
