Work Handoff & Rework Friction
Recorded work transfers, rework returns, and wait or execution medians. Counts are queue flow, not token cost or delivered value. Sender actor, receiver actor, and topology boundary fields.
Pairwise Friction Heatmap: Sender actors form rows; receiver actors form columns. Each cell displays handoffs and return rework percentage:
Cyan Cells (Smooth Flow)
Direct forward delegation with 0% rework returns. Work moves forward cleanly between seats without ping-pong bounce.
Amber Cells (Moderate Friction)
Return rate between 1% and 20%. Indicates normal feedback or occasional specification clarification.
Rose Cells (Severe Churn)
Return rate exceeding 20%. Pinpoints repetitive review rejection, test failure bounce, or prompt contract ambiguity.

Core coordination metrics and actionable engineering thresholds:
Fleet Return Rate
rework_returns / total_handoffs
Median Turnaround Wait
Queue dispatch timestamp to receiver pickup latency
Median Exec Duration
Active step execution time for receiver to complete handoff task
Boundary Crossings
Count of transitions crossing ring boundaries or supervisory planes
Pairwise Friction & Return Heatmap
Rows indicate sender actor; columns indicate receiver. Color intensity indicates return friction rate.
