Dependency-Aware Agent Task Scheduler

Problem statement

You are given n unit-duration tasks numbered from 0 to n - 1. Each task is assigned to one of agentCount agents by taskAgents[i].

A pair [before, after] in prerequisites means that task before must finish before task after can start. In addition, tasks assigned to the same agent must run in their input order: for each agent, every task depends on the previous lower-indexed task assigned to that agent.

Examples

Example 1

agentCount = 2concurrencyLimit = 2taskAgents = [0,1,0,1]prerequisites = [[0,3]]return = [[0,1],[2,3]]

Tasks 0 and 1 are initially ready. Their completion unlocks the next task for each agent, so tasks 2 and 3 run together.
