Ariadne Orchestration

Query the Ariadne bus for parallel worker coordination status.

Quick Reference

Check status: ariadne status List pending diffs: ariadne diffs pending List conflicts: ariadne conflicts Process diffs: ariadne process

Bus Location

/tmp/ariadne-bus/

diffs/pending/    - Awaiting verification
diffs/verified/   - Passed checks, ready for merge
diffs/rejected/   - Failed verification
conflicts/        - Detected conflicts
merges/           - Merge resolutions
commits/          - Ready for atomic commit

Status Output

    "rejected": 0
  },
  "conflicts": {

Diff Fields

Each diff JSON contains:

• id: Unique diff identifier
• work_id: Original work package ID
• instance_id: Icarus worker that created it
• description: What this diff does
• status: pending, verifying, verified, rejected, merged
• files_added, files_modified, files_deleted: Affected files
• line_changes: Line ranges modified per file
• causal_chain: Affected functions/modules for verification
• verification_result: Type check, lint, test outcomes

Conflict Fields

• id: Conflict identifier
• diff_a_id, diff_b_id: The conflicting diffs
• conflict_type: FILE_OVERLAP, LINE_OVERLAP, SEMANTIC
• affected_files: Files with conflicts
• affected_lines: Specific line ranges
• suggested_strategy: SEQUENTIAL, INTERLEAVE, ESCALATE, REJECT

Common Tasks

Initialize the bus (if not done):

ariadne init

View a specific diff:

cat /tmp/ariadne-bus/diffs/pending/<id>.json | jq .

Process with auto-commit:

ariadne process --auto-commit

Run as daemon:

ariadne daemon --interval 5 --auto-commit

Integration

Workers submit to Ariadne with:

icarus-worker --ariadne --prompt "..."

This generates a diff, extracts causal chain, and submits to the bus instead of committing directly.
