Beyond 'Everything Is a Plugin': Defining Production Responsibility in Agent Harness

The article argues that a composable agent runtime alone is insufficient for production; it requires action contracts for external side effects, version binding with impact analysis, and independent audit evidence for task completion, with clear responsibility boundaries across runtime, plugins, action gateways, and human operators.

System Architecture Isn't Tech Selection: The Critical Questions for Production Readiness

This article argues that system architecture starts from business goals and quality attributes, not technology choices, using a refund processing example to illustrate trade-offs across system boundaries, collaboration patterns, and six architectural perspectives, emphasizing that observability, fault tolerance, and security must be designed in and validated with independent evidence throughout the system's lifecycle.

Feature Complete ≠ Production Ready: Why AI Coding Demands Engineering Discipline

This article argues that AI can rapidly generate functional code but cannot lower the engineering bar for production readiness, which requires risk-matched baselines, independent verification, and accountable gates — illustrated through a batch-import example showing the gap between happy-path code and real-world constraints like retries, idempotency, observability, and rollback.

Why Your AI Agent Stays a Toy: Six Production‑Readiness Gaps and How to Bridge Them

Moving an AI agent from a controlled demo to an unattended production environment introduces six critical gaps—fault handling, state persistence, observability, credential security, cost control, and human supervision—each requiring specific infrastructure, practices, and a comprehensive readiness checklist to avoid costly failures.
