# Support a standalone master (judge) separate from worker slots

`6f9da77`→[main](/content/gh/entireio/cli/commits/main/index.html)·   dipree·1mo ago·4 files·+104 added/-24 removed

Foundation for the scout multi-agent flow: the master can now be its own agent + model that synthesizes the workers' reports without being one of the worker slots.

- settings: add ReviewProfileConfig.MasterAgent (standalone master); legacy worker `Master` still honored when MasterAgent is empty.
- profile: add profileMasterIdentity (MasterAgent wins, else legacy worker), masterDisplayLabel; resolveProfileMaster now delegates.
- cmd: multi-agent validation accepts a standalone master (validated for text generation) instead of requiring master ∈ workers; run path and scripted config updated accordingly.
- tests for master resolution precedence.
