Multi-Agent Coordination: Subagents, Worktrees, Reviewers, and Event Logs
When work is split across agents, how to separate context, working directories, and permissions, who integrates and verifies the result, and what an event log can recover.
Pi Harness Architecture and Extension Boundaries
Using Pi 1.4.0, how a minimal harness layers its customizations, how it runs the agent loop, and why an extension is not a security boundary.
Software Design for AI Agents
How classical software engineering principles—design concepts, ubiquitous language, TDD, deep modules, and gray-box delegation—resolve failure modes in AI-assisted coding.
