## 1. Clarifications

### Oneiric: Infrastructure Layer, Not Orchestration Engine

**Key Finding**: Oneiric is **NOT** an orchestration engine - it's a **cross-cutting infrastructure layer** used by all adapters.

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│           Mahavishnu Orchestrator               │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│                                                 │
│  ┌──────────────────────────────────────────┐ │
│  │   Oneiric (Infrastructure Layer)         │ │
│  │   - Configuration (YAML → Pydantic)     │ │
│  │   - Structured Logging (structlog)       │ │
│  └──────────────────────────────────────────┘ │
│                    ↓                           │
│  ┌───────────┬──────────┬────────────────┐   │
│  │  Airflow  │  LangGraph│   Prefect     │   │
│  └───────────┴──────────┴────────────────┘   │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

**Oneiric provides**:
- Configuration management (defaults → YAML → env vars)
- Structured logging (used by ALL adapters)
- NOT workflow execution or task scheduling

**Conclusion**: No overlap with orchestration engines. Oneiric is infrastructure, not competition.

## 3. Architecture Recommendations

### Simplified Stack (Post-Modernization)

**Before**:
```python
4 orchestration engines
- AirflowAdapter   # Legacy data pipelines
- CrewAIAdapter    # Simple multi-agent
- LangGraphAdapter # Complex multi-agent
- AgnoAdapter      # Experimental multi-agent
```

**After**:
```python
2 primary engines + 1 experimental
- PrefectAdapter   # General workflows (replaces Airflow)
- LangGraphAdapter # AI agents (consolidates CrewAI)
- AgnoAdapter      # Experimental alternative to LangGraph
```

**Benefits**:
1. **Clearer separation**: General workflows vs AI agents
2. **Reduced maintenance**: Fewer adapters to support
3. **Better documentation**: Easier to explain when to use what
4. **Modern stack**: All libraries are Python-native, async-first
