Production Design Principles - **Single Supervisor Pattern:** One orchestrator controls all worker agents. - **Hybrid Communication:** Hierarchical control with sequential and parallel execution where appropriate. - **Model Specialization:** Claude 3.5 Sonnet for high-quality long-form writing; GPT-4o for reasoning, validation, and review. - **Memory Architecture:** LangGraph state for short-term context, Redis for fast persistence/cache, and Qdrant for long-term semantic retrieval (RAG). - **Robust Tooling:** Strict input validation, isolated Python sandbox, standardized retries with exponential backoff, and circuit breakers for external APIs. - **Safety First:** Hallucination checks, citation enforcement, loop detection, token/cost budgeting, and human-in-the-loop escalation for low-confidence or sensitive tasks. - **Production Readiness:** Full observability, structured logging, metrics, tracing, containerized deployment, horizontal scalability, and secure secret management.
