conductor dead end with abstract path variables

[jnorthrup]

i manage a conductor branch with a few different translations and quota realities ---

The Universal File Resolution Protocol from upstream is indeed problematic for your multi-agent architecture:

Disjoint contexts can't coordinate - If Agent A resolves "Product Definition" to one path and Agent B to another, you have a race condition
Your hardcoded paths are actually better for multi-platform - conductor/product.md is unambiguous across Claude, Copilot, Gemini, Antigravity
The index.md indirection adds failure modes - What if the index is malformed? What if agents parse it differently?

I don't see this as a wise evolution

cheers!
