  - "PhaseDispatchManager method names use Phase suffix (queuePhase, completePhase) for clarity"
  - "QueuedPhase includes initiativeId for context association"

# Phase 14 Plan 03: PhaseDispatchManager Port Interface Summary

**PhaseDispatchManager port interface with queue/dispatch operations mirroring DispatchManager for dependency-ordered phase execution**

## Performance

- **Duration:** 1 min
- **Started:** 2026-02-02T12:35:40Z
- **Completed:** 2026-02-02T12:36:47Z
- **Tasks:** 2
- **Files modified:** 2

## Accomplishments

- Defined QueuedPhase interface with phaseId, initiativeId, queuedAt, dependsOn
- Defined PhaseDispatchResult interface with success, phaseId, reason
- Created PhaseDispatchManager port interface with 6 methods mirroring DispatchManager
- Exported all types from dispatch module for public consumption

## Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. **Task 1: Define PhaseDispatchManager port interface** - `22cd82d` (feat)
2. **Task 2: Export phase dispatch types** - `a890df7` (feat)

## Files Created/Modified

- `src/dispatch/types.ts` - Added QueuedPhase, PhaseDispatchResult interfaces and PhaseDispatchManager port interface
- `src/dispatch/index.ts` - Exported PhaseDispatchManager, QueuedPhase, PhaseDispatchResult types

## Decisions Made

- PhaseDispatchManager methods use "Phase" suffix (queuePhase vs queue) to distinguish from task dispatch methods
- QueuedPhase includes initiativeId to provide context association (unlike QueuedTask which has no parent reference)
- PhaseDispatchResult is simpler than DispatchResult - no agentId since phases don't directly dispatch to agents

## Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

## Issues Encountered

None.

## User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

## Next Phase Readiness

- PhaseDispatchManager interface ready for adapter implementation
- All methods documented with JSDoc following DispatchManager pattern
- Ready for 14-04-PLAN.md (adapter implementation)
