llmff v1.2.0

llmff v1.2.0 adds declared multi-agent topology to manifests: reusable agent
role bundles and a per-stage agent: reference that expands at inspect time into
a bounded, inspectable DAG. It names the roles in a pipeline without becoming an
agent orchestrator.

Added

• Top-level agents: map of reusable role bundles, each a persona (system)
  plus model and sampling settings (model, temperature, top_p,
  max_tokens, seed, stop, sampler, response_format).
• Per-stage agent: <name> reference on infer and repair stages, resolved
  by Manifest::resolve_agents into concrete inference fields. Resolution
  recurses into loop and map bodies, and stage-level fields always override the
  referenced agent's defaults.
• Inline system: persona field on infer/repair stages, prepended as a
  system message when the assembled messages do not already lead with one.
• Per-role agent field on stage trace and event records so a supervisor can
  attribute work to a named role.
• inspect --format json stage views now report the resolved agent for each
  stage.
• Offline multi-agent examples: generator/critic/reviser, planner/executor,
  debate/judge, and a triage/specialist bounded handoff over route.
• Compatibility with the existing Python subprocess supervisor, batch supervisor,
  Node.js streaming supervisor, agent runner adoption guide, OpenTelemetry bridge,
  and ecosystem readiness gates.

Boundary

Declared multi-agent topology is pure expansion sugar over the existing graph.
agents: names the roles; it never decides which role runs next at runtime.
Dynamic dispatch — a role choosing an undeclared or unbounded successor, spawning
sub-agents, or driving open-ended agent-to-agent handoff — stays above the
boundary with the host. llmff remains a bounded execution runner, not a
multi-agent orchestrator, scheduler, memory system, or autonomous planner.
