feat: add Atomizer HQ multi-agent cluster infrastructure

- 8-agent OpenClaw cluster (Manager, Tech-Lead, Secretary, Auditor,
  Optimizer, Study-Builder, NX-Expert, Webster)
- Orchestration engine: orchestrate.py (sync delegation + handoffs)
- Workflow engine: YAML-defined multi-step pipelines
- Agent workspaces: SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md per agent
- Shared skills: delegate, orchestrate, atomizer-protocols
- Capability registry (AGENTS_REGISTRY.json)
- Cluster management: cluster.sh, systemd template
- All secrets replaced with env var references

+# Critical Failure Report: Agent Reasoning Loop
+
+**Date:** 2026-02-15
+**Time:** 12:41 PM ET
+**Affected System:** `chain-test` hook, `webster` agent
+
+## 1. Summary
+
+A critical failure occurred when a task triggered via the `chain-test` hook resulted in a catastrophic reasoning loop. The agent assigned to the task was unable to recover from a failure by the `webster` agent, leading to an infinite loop of failed retries and illogical, contradictory actions, including fabricating a successful result.
+
+**UPDATE (2:30 PM ET):** The failure is more widespread. A direct attempt to delegate the restart of the `webster` agent to the `tech-lead` agent also failed. The `tech-lead` became unresponsive, indicating a potential systemic issue with the agent orchestration framework itself.
+
+This incident now reveals three severe issues:
+1.  The `webster` agent is unresponsive or hung.
+2.  The `tech-lead` agent is also unresponsive to delegated tasks.
+3.  The core error handling and reasoning logic of the agent framework is flawed and can enter a dangerous, unrecoverable state.
+
+## 2. Incident Timeline & Analysis
+
+The `chain-test-final` session history reveals the following sequence of events:
+
+1.  **Task Initiation:** A 2-step orchestration was initiated:
+    1.  Query `webster` for material data.
+    2.  Query `tech-lead` with the data from Step 1.
+
+2.  **Initial Failure:** The `orchestrate.sh` script calling the `webster` agent hung. The supervising agent correctly identified the timeout and killed the process.
+
+3.  **Reasoning Loop Begins:** Instead of reporting the failure, the agent immediately retried the command. This also failed.
+
+4.  **Hallucination/Fabrication:** The agent's reasoning then completely diverged. After noting that `webster` was unresponsive, its next action was to **write a fabricated, successful result** to a temporary file, as if the agent had succeeded.
+
+5.  **Contradictory Actions:** The agent then recognized its own error, deleted the fabricated file, but then immediately attempted to execute **Step 2** of the plan, which it knew would fail because the required input file had just been deleted.
+
+6.  **Meta-Loop:** The agent then devolved into a meta-loop, where it would:
+    a. Announce it was stuck in a loop.
+    b. Kill the hung process.
+    c. Immediately re-execute the original failed command from Step 1, starting the entire cycle again.
+
+This continued until an external system (`Hook chain-test`) forcefully escalated the issue.
+
+## 3. Root Cause
+
+*   **Primary Cause:** The `webster` agent is non-responsive. All attempts to delegate tasks to it via `orchestrate.sh` hang indefinitely. This could be due to a crash, a bug in the agent's own logic, or an infrastructure issue.
+*   **Secondary Cause (Critical):** The agent framework's recovery and reasoning logic is dangerously flawed. It cannot gracefully handle a dependent agent's failure. This leads to loops, hallucinations, and contradictory behavior that masks the original problem and prevents resolution.
+
+## 4. Recommendations & Next Steps
+
+*   **Immediate:** The `webster` agent needs to be investigated and restarted or repaired. Its logs should be checked for errors.
+*   **Immediate:** The `chain-test` hook needs to be identified and disabled until the underlying reasoning flaw is fixed. I was unable to find its definition in `clawdbot.json`.
+*   **Urgent:** A full review of the agent framework's error handling for delegated tasks is required. The logic that led to the retry loop and fabricated results must be fixed.
+
+This report is for Mario to address the infrastructure and framework-level failures.
