Persistent infrastructure, not application checkpointing, recovers agents from crashes.
Structured filesystem isolation prevents AI agent failures caused by uncontrolled file access.
Optimizing rootfs design unlocks millisecond-scale agent boot times instead of seconds.
Set latency budgets before building architecture, or miss the conversational contract entirely.
Recovering from failures in long-running agents requires rethinking what retry can accomplish.
APIs for autonomous agents need explicit contracts that humans don't require.
Restoring cookies alone fails when sites check device fingerprints between sessions.
AI agents break six core assumptions that traditional credential management relies on.
Agent memory needs five lifecycle decisions, not just a retrieval store.
Splitting an agent's disk into owned zones keeps state safe.
Stateless agents scale easily, but stateful ones sustain long workflows.
