Parallel Execution Notes

These 5 agents can run completely in parallel because:

1. Agent_1 (API): Works only in /pages/api/ - no overlap with UI
2. Agent_2 (UI Components): Creates /components/ only - no overlap with pages
3. Agent_3 (VF Pages): Creates /pages/vertical-farm/ - separate from components
4. Agent_4 (Tests): Creates /__tests__/ - completely separate directory
5. Agent_5 (Docs): Works only in /docs/ - no code changes

Execution Command

After PR merge, dispatch all 5 agents with:

Agent_1: "Read AGENT_REPORT.md section 'Agent_1: API Routes Implementation' and complete all tasks"
Agent_2: "Read AGENT_REPORT.md section 'Agent_2: UI Components for Transport & Demand' and complete all tasks"
Agent_3: "Read AGENT_REPORT.md section 'Agent_3: Vertical Farming UI & Pages' and complete all tasks"
Agent_4: "Read AGENT_REPORT.md section 'Agent_4: Testing Suite' and complete all tasks"
Agent_5: "Read AGENT_REPORT.md section 'Agent_5: Documentation & Guides Completion' and complete all tasks"
