architect.validate_consensus

Pro/Teams — N-shot CONSENSUS doctrine review of agentic code. ON CLIENT TIMEOUT — DO NOT RETRY THIS TOOL. Long-running (~80-120s for N=3 parallel LLM calls); MCP clients often close the call before the server returns. Retrying re-runs N × 60-180s LLM calls from scratch and burns N× compute. RECOVERY: same heartbeat pattern as architect.validate — the run_id is emitted in the FIRST progress event at t=0s (before LLM children fire); on timeout, call me.validation_history(run_id='<that-id>') to fetch the persisted consensus envelope. Runs N parallel architect.validate calls with private_session=True, then aggregates them to a per-principle MODE verdict + median severity + per-principle stability + score range/stdev. Returns one ConsensusValidationResponse with the headline median score, the honest variance band, and a representative full ValidationResponse (the child whose score is closest to the median). WHEN TO CALL: the user wants an HONEST first-pass score on agentic code, with the architect's variance surfaced. The single-shot architect.validate re-asserts the prior persisted run's verdict via baseline-anchor injection — same code can score 60/C anchored vs 98/A unanchored. Consensus mode is the unanchored honest read. WHEN NOT TO CALL: when you NEED the iteration delta against a prior run (regressions/improvements panel) — for that, call architect.validate which keeps baseline injection on. CHAIN RESUME: each child runs with private_session=True (no anchor) on purpose, but the CONSOLIDATED outer row IS persisted with lifecycle_status='completed' — the next single-shot architect.validate on the same repository auto-resolves it as prior_run_baseline. Consensus checkpoint becomes the new anchor. See the architect-validation-orchestration skill in the agent-asset pack for the full validate → consensus → certify sequence. BEHAVIOR: N (default 3, max 5) parallel LLM calls run concurrently; wallclock ~80-120s for N=3 (max child latency, not sum). Cost = N × LLM bill. Each child runs with private_session=True so the doctrine prompt's prior-run baseline injection is suppressed (no anchor bias). One CONSOLIDATED UserValidationRun row is written carrying the consensus envelope; the N children themselves do NOT persist (private_session contract). AUTH: Bearer , Pro/Teams plan. Same paid-plan gate as architect.validate. INPUTS: same shape as architect.validate. n is the only extra arg (range 2..5). private_session is implicit (always true for children); the OUTER consolidated row IS persisted unless the tool itself is called inside another private context — but no such wrapper exists today. OUTPUT: response carries score_consensus_median (headline), score_stdev (honest uncertainty), score_range (min, max), mode_stability_min_pct (the cert-eligibility gate's input — ≥ 80% means the consensus is stable), per_principle (mode + distribution + severity median per principle), and representative_response (the closest-to-median child's full ValidationResponse so existing UI components render unchanged). TYPED FAILURES: same as architect.validate (timed_out, rate_limited, dependency_unavailable). Plus consensus-specific: consensus_quorum_failed when fewer than 2 child runs succeeded (≥ 2 required to compute a meaningful median).
