-- **Actor compiler**: A standalone compiler module that transforms actor YAML configurations into runnable LangGraph StateGraph instances (graph node wiring, conditional routing, subgraph invocation). The actor loader, registry, and schema infrastructure exist; the compilation step from YAML to executable graph is the remaining gap. **This is the M2 critical-path blocker.**
-- **MCP runtime adapter**: Live connection to MCP servers for external tool discovery and invocation at runtime. Aditya has active work on `develop-aditya-2` branch. Schema and domain models exist; the runtime bridge is pending.
