+Test Generation Orchestrator — 3.10 (Compounding Intelligence)
+
+Implements a continuous pipeline that:
+  1. Maintains a queue of repositories to process.
+  2. Runs all 9 test generators per repository.
+  3. Stores results (tests written, pass rate, coverage delta).
+  4. After processing all repos, checks for new code changes and re-queues.
+  5. Runs continuously — never idle (loop with sleep).
+
+Usage:
+  python3 scripts/test_generation_orchestrator.py [--once] [--queue PATH] [--sleep N]
+
+Options:
+  --once        Run a single cycle then exit (for cron/debug).
+  --queue FILE  Path to queue file (default: test_queue.txt at repo root).
+  --sleep N     Sleep seconds between cycles (default: 3600).
