[Forge] Implement agent role definitions — researcher, debater, market-maker, auditor, gap-finder

Quest: Agent Ecosystem Priority: P2 Status: open

Goal

Implement agent role definitions — researcher, debater, market-maker, auditor, gap-finder

Context

This task is part of the Agent Ecosystem quest (Forge layer). It contributes to the broader goal of building out SciDEX's forge capabilities.

Acceptance Criteria

☐ Implementation complete and tested
☐ All affected pages load (200 status)
☐ Work visible on the website frontend
☐ No broken links introduced
☐ Code follows existing patterns

Approach

  • Read relevant source files to understand current state
  • Plan implementation based on existing architecture
  • Implement changes
  • Test affected pages with curl
  • Commit with descriptive message and push

    • Work Log

    Root cause

    The market_maker role was absent from AGENT_TYPES in scidex/senate/agent_registry.py. The task title explicitly names "market-maker" as one of five required role definitions, but it was missing from the enum. Four other roles (researcher, debater, auditor, gap_finder) were already present.

    Fix applied

    Added market_maker to AGENT_TYPES list (alphabetically sorted, placed between knowledge_generator and predictor). No other changes were made to preserve existing functionality.

    Post-fix verification

    AGENT_TYPES count: 15 (was 14)
normalize_agent_type("market_maker") -> "market_maker" ✓
normalize_agent_type("market-maker") -> "market_maker" ✓

    Notes

    The market_maker role already exists in scidex/exchange/market_participants.py as a participant_id (line 1414) and in scripts/market_maker.py as the LMSR implementation. Adding it to AGENT_TYPES brings the agent registry into alignment with the existing Exchange layer implementation.
