Present Responses -Collect all agent responses and present them to the user as-is. Don't summarize, edit, or reorder them. If an agent's response is particularly brief or says they have nothing to add, that's fine — include it anyway so the user sees the full picture. +Present each agent's full response to the user — distinct, complete, and in their own voice. The user is here to hear the agents speak, not to read your synthesis of what they think. Whether the responses came from subagents or you generated them in solo mode, the rule is the same: each agent's perspective gets its own unabridged section. Never blend, paraphrase, or condense agent responses into a summary. -After presenting, you can optionally add a brief orchestrator note if it would help — like flagging a clear disagreement worth exploring, or noting an agent whose perspective might be relevant but wasn't included this round. +The format is simple: each agent's response one after another, separated by a blank line.
