Jason Woltje 12abdfe81d feat(#93): implement agent spawn via federation
Implements FED-010: Agent Spawn via Federation feature that enables
spawning and managing Claude agents on remote federated Mosaic Stack
instances via COMMAND message type.

Features:
- Federation agent command types (spawn, status, kill)
- FederationAgentService for handling agent operations
- Integration with orchestrator's agent spawner/lifecycle services
- API endpoints for spawning, querying status, and killing agents
- Full command routing through federation COMMAND infrastructure
- Comprehensive test coverage (12/12 tests passing)

Architecture:
- Hub → Spoke: Spawn agents on remote instances
- Command flow: FederationController → FederationAgentService →
  CommandService → Remote Orchestrator
- Response handling: Remote orchestrator returns agent status/results
- Security: Connection validation, signature verification

- apps/api/src/federation/types/federation-agent.types.ts
- apps/api/src/federation/federation-agent.service.ts
- apps/api/src/federation/federation-agent.service.spec.ts

Files modified:
- apps/api/src/federation/command.service.ts (agent command routing)
- apps/api/src/federation/federation.controller.ts (agent endpoints)
- apps/api/src/federation/federation.module.ts (service registration)
- apps/orchestrator/src/api/agents/agents.controller.ts (status endpoint)
- apps/orchestrator/src/api/agents/agents.module.ts (lifecycle integration)

Testing:
- 12/12 tests passing for FederationAgentService
- All command service tests passing
- TypeScript compilation successful
- Linting passed

# Issue ORCH-109: Agent lifecycle management
## Objective
Implement agent lifecycle management service to manage state transitions through the agent lifecycle (spawning → running → completed/failed/killed).
## Approach
Following TDD principles:
1. Write failing tests first for all state transition scenarios
2. Implement minimal code to make tests pass
3. Refactor while keeping tests green
The service will:
- Enforce valid state transitions using state machine
- Persist agent state changes to Valkey
- Emit pub/sub events on state changes
- Track agent metadata (startedAt, completedAt, error)
- Integrate with ValkeyService and AgentSpawnerService
## Acceptance Criteria
- [x] `src/spawner/agent-lifecycle.service.ts` implemented
- [x] State transitions: spawning → running → completed/failed/killed
- [x] State persisted in Valkey
- [x] Events emitted on state changes (pub/sub)
- [x] Agent metadata tracked (startedAt, completedAt, error)
- [x] State machine enforces valid transitions only
- [x] Comprehensive unit tests with ≥85% coverage
- [x] Tests follow TDD (written first)
## Implementation Details
### State Machine
Valid transitions (from `state.types.ts`):
- `spawning``running`, `failed`, `killed`
- `running``completed`, `failed`, `killed`
- `completed` → (terminal state)
- `failed` → (terminal state)
- `killed` → (terminal state)
### Key Methods
1. `transitionToRunning(agentId)` - Move agent from spawning to running
2. `transitionToCompleted(agentId)` - Mark agent as completed
3. `transitionToFailed(agentId, error)` - Mark agent as failed with error
4. `transitionToKilled(agentId)` - Mark agent as killed
5. `getAgentLifecycleState(agentId)` - Get current lifecycle state
### Events Emitted
- `agent.running` - When transitioning to running
- `agent.completed` - When transitioning to completed
- `agent.failed` - When transitioning to failed
- `agent.killed` - When transitioning to killed
## Progress
- [x] Read issue requirements
- [x] Create scratchpad
- [x] Write unit tests (TDD - RED phase)
- [x] Implement service (TDD - GREEN phase)
- [x] Refactor and add edge case tests
- [x] Verify test coverage = 100%
- [x] Add service to module exports
- [x] Verify build passes
- [x] Create Gitea issue
- [x] Close Gitea issue with completion notes
## Testing
Test coverage: **100%** (28 tests)
Coverage areas:
- Valid state transitions (spawning→running→completed)
- Valid state transitions (spawning→failed, running→failed)
- Valid state transitions (spawning→killed, running→killed)
- Invalid state transitions (should throw errors)
- Event emission on state changes
- State persistence in Valkey
- Metadata tracking (timestamps, errors)
- Conditional timestamp setting (startedAt, completedAt)
- Agent not found error handling
- List operations
## Notes
- State transition validation logic already exists in `state.types.ts`
- ValkeyService provides state persistence and pub/sub
- AgentSpawnerService manages agent sessions in memory
- This service bridges the two by managing lifecycle + persistence
## Completion Summary
Successfully implemented ORCH-109 following TDD principles:
