Pattern Proposal: Decoupled Reasoning and Orchestration

Summary

A standardized execution model that strictly separates the Runner (orchestration), the Workflow (reasoning), and the Knowledge Provider (storage abstraction).

Candidate Pattern

• ID: pattern-cas-decoupled-execution-model
• Classification: execution
• Maturity: established
• Type: implemented

Observed Signals

• Workflow Execution Model Compliance
• Knowledge Access Abstraction

Evidence

Architecture Work

• aw-ideas-to-life-cas-20260605-04
• aw-ideas-to-life-cas-20260605-03

Supporting Evidence

• current_architecture_state
• architecture_evolution_map

Scope Assessment

• Evidence Strength: high
• Confidence: high
• Applies to: execution, automation, contracts

Rationale

• Ensures workflows remain implementation-agnostic regarding storage and environment.
• Provides a consistent contract for reasoning agents to interact with architectural knowledge.
