Summary
The article explores the architectural challenge of deciding where to implement decision-making logic in a system already utilizing a deterministic state machine and CI/CD processes. It emphasizes the need to clarify the roles of the agent's judgment ('brain') and the execution of tools ('hands') within a graph/state-based framework.
