Roadmap: Codewalkers
Overview
Multi-agent orchestration system built in six phases: foundation infrastructure, then data persistence, then git worktrees for isolation, then agent lifecycle management, then task dispatch and queuing, and finally coordination/merge handling. Each phase delivers a coherent capability that later phases depend on.
