The protocol layer is converging. The unsolved problem is context: how do you decide what to pass between agents, when to summarize versus delegate in full, and how to do this without the routing decision itself becoming the expensive part. This post lands the thesis — and examines what happens when agents coordinate asynchronously across disconnected environments.
