Previous: Sprint 3 Retrospective: Production Validation & Pipeline Hardening The Sprint Goal Sprint 4's mission was ambitious: build the Media Orchestration Engine (MOE) — the conductor that makes all other components work together as one system. Where previous sprints built individual instruments (memory, content sourcing, audio), this sprint built the orchestra.
