AI agents that
can stop.

Maestro Orchestrator is a research orchestration framework for studying how multiple AI agents can work together safely. It tests fail-closed behavior, audit logs, and final human review through implementation and tests.

01 / OVERVIEW

WHY THIS REPOSITORY EXISTS

Validate behavioral boundaries,
not agent capability.

This repository is a local research and educational test bench for safely reading, reproducing, and reviewing workflows involving multiple agents. It does not control real systems or replace human judgment.

01

Fail-closed

When uncertainty, risk, inconsistency, or possible external impact is present, the workflow does not continue silently. It stops or moves to human review.

02

Advisory-only

Detection and remediation proposals support decisions. The system does not automatically modify, commit, push, merge, or deploy.

03

Traceable records

Audit logs, checkpoints, and integrity checks preserve a state in which events can be reconstructed and reviewed.

02 / SAFETY MODEL

STOP, THEN ASK

When uncertain, move to
human review—not forward.

The design separates the roles of agent, mediator, and orchestrator so that risks or inconsistencies can return to human judgment.

01Observe

Record the state of inputs, outputs, and logs.

02Advise

The Mediator returns advice, but has no authority to execute.

03Gate

Fixed-order checks assess whether the workflow may continue.

04Decide

For ambiguity, risk, or inconsistency, HITL makes the final decision.

RUN

A candidate may proceed to the next check or a permitted operation.

PAUSE_FOR_HITL

A person reviews the situation and decides whether to continue, revise, or stop.

STOPPED

A blocking condition has been reached, so the workflow stops on the safe side.

03 / ARCHITECTURE

INSPECTABLE BY DESIGN

Record why it stopped—
and what permits a restart.

With implementation and corresponding tests readable together, the project examines gate order, reason codes, audit logs, checkpoints, and artifact integrity.

Audit rows are chained in a normalized format so unexpected changes can be detected. This does not prevent changes; it makes them detectable for review.

CHECKPOINT

Pause and resume

Before resuming, validate the run ID, completed artifacts, hashes, and whether HITL confirmation is required.

ARTIFACTS

Reproducible verification

Simulation output is a research artifact. It does not mean production approval or a guarantee of safety.

04 / SIMULATORS

CURRENT RESEARCH LINES

Test the same safety
boundaries across scenarios.

The highest file number is not always the recommended starting point. When verifying behavior, read the corresponding implementation and tests together.

MEDIATION

Mediator-based flows

Tests task normalization, advisory-only mediation, fixed-order checks, and escalation to human review.

Documentation
CHECKPOINT

Document task orchestration

Uses Word, Excel, and PowerPoint tasks to examine checkpoints, resumption, and artifact integrity checks.

Documentation
INTEGRITY

Audit & tamper evidence

Uses HMAC and hash chaining to make unexpected changes to audit logs and checkpoints detectable.

Documentation
RESEARCH

Scenario simulations

Explores emergency contracts, incident mediation, and security reviews as local research simulations.

SCOPE BOUNDARY

Do not treat advice and
execution as the same thing.

Automatic external sending, uploading, applying changes, creating branches or PRs, commits, pushes, merges, deployments, and real-world control are outside the scope of this research workflow.

This site and the related repository do not guarantee safe execution, safety, integrity, or fitness for any particular real-world use. Decisions or actions affecting external systems require appropriate human review and responsible governance.

Use only in research, education, and authorized defensive contexts.
