Context engineering for AI agents: why building an agent is now trivial, why agents still fail in production, and how to fix the context layer in 2026
This blog's own publishing pipeline is a lights-out factory. No human sits in the merge loop on any weekday. The last human gate was not deleted; it was replaced by machine-checkable guardrails: an allowlist on what a bot PR may touch, triggers that fail closed on any schema violation, and a veto window on the posts themselves rather than an approval queue in front of them.
