 ## 🟡 Medium Priority
 
-### [Intelligence] Orchestrator service — Phase 1
-See `ARCH__Intelligence_Layer.md` for full design. Initial scope:
-- [ ] Add Gemini API (google-generativeai SDK) as a library dependency (not CLI)
-- [ ] Create `cortex/routers/orchestrator.py` — `POST /orchestrate` endpoint
-- [ ] Basic tool registry: web search (DuckDuckGo), AE API query, file read
-- [ ] ReAct loop: Gemini calls tools, assembles context, hands off to Claude for final response
-- [ ] `GET /orchestrate/{job_id}` — poll for status/result
-- [ ] Cron can trigger via HTTP POST (same endpoint)
