We talk a lot about governance, accuracy, and auditability in AI agents.
But I keep seeing a gap between the words and the engineering behind them.
Many agents have tools, orchestration, memory, graphs, and impressive demos. But when you ask how governance is actually enforced, the answer is often weak.
Prompt-level control is not production governance.
A production agent needs explicit state design: legal transitions, controlled progression, recovery paths, approval boundaries, and separation between memory, decision, policy, and execution.
