OpenAI Open-Sources Symphony, a SPEC.md for Autonomous Coding Agent Orchestration

OpenAI Symphony is an agent orchestrator that uses project-management tools, like issue trackers, as a control plan to coordinate multiple coding agents. Instead of developers managing interactive coding sessions, Symphony manages "tasks" by assigning each one to a dedicated agent that works autonomously to completion. Once a task is finished, a human is in charge to review the resulting output.
