Framework choice determines whether your production agents survive failure or collapse under load.
Architectural flaws, not reasoning gaps, cause agent workflows to collapse into failed branches.
When agents claim success without finishing the task, standard monitoring misses it completely.
Concurrent agents hit provider quotas faster than teams realize, masking the real problem.
Slow tool calls trigger cascading reasoning failures that standard monitoring can't detect.
