Byzantine fault tolerance is required (untrusted or unreliable agents)
State synchronization across distributed agent swarms
Conflict-free data merging in concurrent operations

Protocols

Protocol	Use Case	Fault Tolerance	Complexity
Raft	Leader-based consensus, ordered log	Crash faults (f < n/2)	Medium
Byzantine	Untrusted agents, adversarial conditions	Byzantine faults (f < n/3)	High
Gossip	Eventual consistency, state propagation	Partition tolerant	Low
CRDT	Conflict-free replicated data types	Always convergent	Low

Weighted Voting

Queen agents: 3x weight multiplier
Worker agents: 1x weight
Configurable consensus threshold (majority, supermajority, unanimous)

Agents Used

agents/swarm-coordinator/ - Protocol orchestration
agents/strategic-queen/ - Weighted voting leadership
