+Multi-Trial Episodic Reflexion Loop for Autonomous Healing (Noah Shinn / Reflexion Pattern)
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Replaces single-shot heuristic locator healing with an iterative, multi-trial reflection
+loop (K=3). When a test fails:
+  1. Evaluator extracts failure stacktrace & symptom.
+  2. Reflexion Generator creates a 2-line verbal diagnosis of why the patch/locator failed.
+  3. Memory Buffer accumulates trials across attempts.
+  4. Actor synthesizes the next patch conditioned on previous reflections.
+  5. Upon pass -> records to positive cache (healing_cache & lessons_learned).
+  6. Upon exhaustion of K=3 -> records to negative cache (failed_fixes) to block blind retries.
+

+Asynchronous Actor QA Message Broker (Microsoft AutoGen v0.4+ Pattern)
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+Provides an asynchronous Actor-model message broker and matrix sharding coordinator:
+  1. Mailbox-Based Actor Messaging: Decoupled peer-to-peer message passing across QA subagents.
+  2. Pub/Sub Event Dispatch: Asynchronous event publishing (TEST_FAILED, SHARD_COMPLETED, MUTATION_ALERT).
+  3. Parallel Matrix Sharding: Partitions large test suites across worker actors with zero blocking.
+  4. Deadlock & Starvation Sentinel: Enforces 300s timeout ceilings and detects circular dependency deadlocks.
+
+Usage:
+  python tools/autogen_qa_broker.py send-message --from-actor test-runner --to-actor failure-analyst --topic TEST_FAILED --payload '{"test": "login.spec.ts"}'
+  python tools/autogen_qa_broker.py fetch-messages --actor failure-analyst
