concurrent_task_dispatch

Scope: project • Default: serial

Controls how many ready tasks the orchestrator dispatches at once.

Positions

Position	Effect
serial	Exactly one in-flight worker at a time per domain. Safest.
fanout_N (N ≥ 2)	Up to N workers run in parallel across all domains.

Storage shape

concurrent_task_dispatch:
  position: { kind: fanout, n: 4 }
  rationale: "Small team, lots of independent UI work."
  setBy: user-direct

The simple serial form stores as { kind: serial }.

Related levers

• worktree_isolation — almost always set to per_task or higher when fanning out, to avoid file collisions.
• runtime_isolation — if your workers need port allocation (e.g. parallel dev servers), enable slot_allocation.

When to change it

Start with serial. Move to fanout_2–fanout_4 once you've verified workers don't step on each other. Beyond 4 you typically hit provider rate limits before you hit useful parallelism.
