5. Amplify Agent: turns published articles into platform-native social drafts
6. Social Agent: surfaces community threads and drafts value-first replies for approval
7. Sentinel Agent: runs weekly citation and ranking checks, daily site-health and crawler-access checks, and flags what needs attention
