Copy a manifest outside the live directory
Change both name and workspace. The verified agent is uniquely named course-4-orchestrator and remains unscheduled.
Read the zero gate yourself
armaraos orchestration quota <DEFAULT_AGENT_UUID>
Nothing later in the delegation course can work through this default quota.
Copy, never edit in place
Copy a manifest outside the live agents directory. Give the copy a unique name and a unique workspace. Preserve every unrelated field.
Change four bounded lines
Missions move to true, subagents to 3, depth to 2, and agent spawning to true. Depth is the multiplier, so raise it last and slowly.
Spawn the copied agent
armaraos agent spawn <ORCHESTRATOR_MANIFEST>armaraos agent list --jsonCopy the new UUID from the roster. Do not reuse the source agent's identifier.
Verify, do not assume
armaraos orchestration quota <NEW_UUID>
Use the fallback checks in order
armaraos agent list --json
armaraos doctor
armaraos logs --lines 200Confirm the right UUID and actual spawn before blaming config. Then check doctor and manifest parse evidence. If quota passes but later work stalls, check provider rate limits.
Name the real ceiling
Cost fields remain 0.0 and do not provide proven enforcement. The provider limit, absence of a schedule, and the stop procedure later in this course are the real boundaries.
Check it / pass the gate
Read 3 and 2 from the new UUID.
Run quota with the copied agent's UUID. Do not continue until allowed subagents and depth are nonzero.
This agent can create other agents that spend. Keep it unscheduled, use the free configured model, and do not raise depth while learning.
Troubleshooting the gate
| What you see | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Quota stays zero | The old UUID was queried. | Copy the new UUID. |
| Spawn collides | Name or workspace was reused. | Change both fields. |
| Manifest parse fails | TOML syntax changed. | Compare the four intended lines. |
| Later work stalls | Provider concurrency may throttle. | Check rate limits before editing again. |
