  use ExUnit.Case, async: true
  
  alias Foundation.MABEAM.Types
  
  describe "orchestration_variable/0" do
    test "validates required fields" do
      valid_variable = %{
        id: :test_variable,
        scope: :local,
        type: :agent_selection,
        agents: [:agent1, :agent2],
        coordination_fn: &test_coordination/3,
        adaptation_fn: &test_adaptation/3,
        constraints: [],
        resource_requirements: %{memory: 100, cpu: 0.5},
        fault_tolerance: %{strategy: :restart, max_restarts: 3},
        telemetry_config: %{enabled: true}
      }
      
      assert Types.valid_orchestration_variable?(valid_variable)
    end
    
    test "rejects invalid scope" do
      invalid_variable = %{id: :test, scope: :invalid}
      refute Types.valid_orchestration_variable?(invalid_variable)

  @type variable_scope :: :local | :global | :cluster
  @type orchestration_type :: :agent_selection | :resource_allocation | :communication_topology
  
  @type orchestration_variable :: %{
    id: atom(),
    scope: variable_scope(),
    type: orchestration_type(),
    agents: [agent_reference()],
