This topic follows the system problems that emerge when agents move from short conversations to sustained work.

Validation map

  • Memory: write, update, conflict, and forgetting
  • State: reliable task recovery
  • Tools: permissions, idempotency, and error handling
  • Evaluation: process quality beyond final success
  • Human intervention: when the agent must stop and ask

The topic will combine frontier notes, minimum experiments, and engineering decision checklists.
