# Parallel feature managers
Use the live Cotal mesh as a hierarchy:
- The current session is the **coordinator**. It creates isolation, sets policy, monitors progress,
and relays decisions. It does not duplicate implementation or panel review.
- Each feature gets one **manager** rooted in its own Git worktree and branch. The manager owns the
complete plan -> implementation -> review -> test -> commit loop.
- Each manager spawns three or more **read/review-only peers** in one dedicated channel: engineer,
security, and critic at minimum.
- Near the final gate, each manager adds one **independent cold reviewer**, briefed under the
**`cold-review` skill**, which is the single source for how that seat is briefed, isolated and
graded. It is a control on the panel rather than a fourth panelist.
## Models: cross-vendor panels are a correctness rule, not a preference
**No two seats whose agreement is load-bearing may share a model family.** A finding confirmed by a
seat of the same family as the one that made it is an echo, not a confirmation. A panel of three
same-model reviewers has approved a head carrying a defect that all three missed, and what surfaced
it was a differently framed read rather than a fourth verifier.
State it that way rather than as a headcount. **Availability is a property of the moment, not of the
vendor**: the same model has joined and delivered one hour and failed to join the next, on the same
host with the same tooling. A rule phrased as "N dis
