OpenAI open-sources Symphony, a SPEC.md for autonomous agent orchestration

OpenAI open-sources Symphony, a SPEC.md framework for orchestrating autonomous coding agents at scale. The specification aims to standardize how multiple AI agents coordinate tasks, error handling, and state management in enterprise codebases.

Symphony enables organizations to build governance and observability into agent workflows without vendor lock-in. This move aligns with the broader shift toward agent orchestration as a platform concern, alongside similar efforts from Anthropic and others in the ecosystem.
