Critic-Defender-Judge Strategy
Classic adversarial triangle: one agent attacks, one defends, one judges.
Method
debate-architect designs attack vectors based on artifact type
debate-critic generates structured attacks using Toulmin model
debate-defender responds with counter-evidence and rebuttals
debate-judge evaluates exchange quality and produces round verdict
Repeat with escalating pressure (dialectical-escalation tactic)
