Why Your Multi-Agent System Keeps Breaking in Production (And How to Fix the Orchestration Layer)

Automated excerpt

Simple, but doesn't scale past 3–4 agents before agents start stepping on each other's writes. Message-passing with a supervisor — a coordinator agent owns state, worker agents only see what's relevant to their sub-task. Externalized state store — state lives outside any agent's context window entirely (a database, a graph), agents read/write via tools rather than holding state in-context.
