FORGE Dispatch Wrapper MC101640

MC #101640 provides forge-dispatch.js, a local FORGE dispatcher for verifier/reviewer/comparator-class agents that use external models.

Tool

~/system/tools/forge-dispatch.js

Purpose

Route external-model verifier agents to local FORGE endpoints for zero-dollar inference instead of defaulting to expensive Opus calls.

Supported invocation

node ~/system/tools/forge-dispatch.js <agent-name> --prompt-file <path>
node ~/system/tools/forge-dispatch.js <agent-name> --prompt "inline prompt"

Agent examples

baseline-comparator → external Ollama model
evidence-verifier → external MLX model
pi-orch-mini-verifier → external MLX model

Contract

Exit 0: successful local FORGE dispatch
Exit 2: agent is not external-model
Exit 3: all FORGE endpoints unreachable
Exit 4: invalid arguments
Successful response includes cost_usd: 0.0
