Superapp Architecture: ChatGPT Should Be the Non-Blocking Master Process, Not a Peer Tab

Clean decomposition. Your three-way split is exactly right — and it maps naturally to model tiers: Master Architect runs a capable standard model (strong enough for conversation, decomposition, and judgment), Resource Manager can run something lighter (scheduling decisions, not creative ones), and workers run task-optimized models.
The key design principle you’ve articulated well: the Master Architect should never have to think about “which worker owns the terminal.” The moment operational state leaks into the conversation context, you’ve re-introduced the cognitive pollution this whole architecture is trying to eliminate.
Good framework. Thanks for formalizing it.
