orchestra/cmd/orchestra-worker/main.go

// orchestra-worker consumes router-issued leases for one or more local
// execution backends. Each declared harness is a separate federation identity
// with its own token, cursor, backend, and state file, because the coordinator
// authorizes a lease call by comparing the URL's worker id against the lease's
// harness id. Homesrv remains the scheduler and CAS authority. This process
// owns only local Git and pane operations.
