- In short
- Failure-boundary design puts retry, gap-flagging, and human-gate controls around orchestration so failures and irreversible actions never pass silently into the final output. A missing retry or gap-flag on a failed subagent silently drops that unit of work; an irreversible downstream action taken with no human gate is a control-boundary defect; and a well-designed orchestration flags coverage gaps rather than presenting partial results as complete.
