In single-agent architectures, an execution failure is typically isolated and predictable. An autonomous worker encounters a malformed JSON payload, fails an assertion gate, triggers a retry loop, and—if recovery fails—gracefully halts the task, logging an error trace to an administrative console. The failure is localized to a single thread, and the blast radius is bounded. […]

During the initial deployments of generative artificial intelligence, software error handling was treated as a solved, deterministic problem. Traditional software engineering operates within predictable exception boundaries: if an API returns an HTTP 500 status code, a catch-block triggers an exponential retry; if a JSON parser encounters an unexpected character, it throws a syntax exception; if […]
