Why architecture matters here

Conversation fails on unclear termination + context drift. Architecture matters because turn + context + termination all combine.

The architecture: every piece explained

The top strip is control. User goal. Turn manager. Shared context. Delegation.

The middle row is safety. Termination rules. Backoff / retry. Audit trail. Metrics.

The lower rows are ops. Human interject. Governance. Ops — replay + eval + rollback.

End-to-end flow

End-to-end: user asks question. Coordinator turn opens; delegates to specialist; specialist to another. Shared context passes. Turn manager prevents infinite loops. Termination triggers on goal met or budget. Audit trail immutable.
