-Orchestrate parallel debug agents to investigate UAT gaps and find root causes.
-
-After UAT finds gaps, spawn one debug agent per gap. Each agent investigates autonomously with symptoms pre-filled from UAT. Collect root causes, update UAT.md gaps with diagnosis, then hand off to plan-phase --gaps with actual diagnoses.

-Orchestrator stays lean: parse gaps, spawn agents, collect results, update UAT.
