5.1Concept: Decentralized Test Generation
Unlike the Orchestrator, the Swarm pattern has no single coordinator. Multiple independent agents work on the same codebase simultaneously, each responsible for a different module or layer. After all agents complete, a Reconciler merges their output, removes duplicates, and resolves conflicts.
This pattern mirrors how large open-source projects evolve: many contributors work independently, and a merge process handles integration.
