    Context Management & Reliability

    Assume every run will be interrupted, re-triggered, and long — and design so none of it hurts.

    The smallest domain by weight, and the one whose failures cascade into every other domain. It is the unglamorous machinery that keeps a system remembering, recovering, and not repeating or crashing: pin critical context and bound history, give a recurring generator memory of its own output, tag every fact with its source, retry transient errors politely, stay idempotent so retries are safe, and choose — deliberately — which guardrails fail open and which fail closed.
