// Orchestrator phase events — fire after all 10 complete

'orchestrating'       // "Mapping tensions..." loading indicator
'round2_triggered'    // shows which 2 agents are re-querying and why
'round2_complete'     // round 2 responses received

'stream_complete'     // all done — dismiss loading states
'error'               // { code, retry, agentId? } — client handles
