Before Launch

●       Secrets in vault

●       Rate limiting

●       Retry logic

●       Queueing

●       Structured logs

●       Health checks

●       DB pooling

●       CI/CD

●       Rollback strategy

●       Human approval console

●       Policy engine live

●       Audit logs enabled

●       Monitoring dashboards

●       Incident runbooks

●       MCP servers pinned to a known-good tool-definition hash, with re-approval required on change (New)

●       OAuth issuer validation enabled on every MCP client (New)

 

Build Strategy

Build in This Order

●       Single agent + retrieval

●       Add memory (start with Pattern B — retrieval-augmented)

●       Add tools via MCP

●       Add policy engine

●       Add verifier

●       Add human approvals

●       Add multi-agent roles

●       Optimize cost routing

●       Formalize the harness — write down the planner/executor/verifier contracts and context-assembly rules as a versioned spec, not implicit code structure (New)

●       Add simulations/evals, including harness-vs-model attribution (New)

●       Expand autonomy slowly
