The point I find most interesting is that, beyond a certain level of complexity, the problem stops being only about context management and becomes a state management problem. If the operational state lives inside the prompt, retries and handoffs can introduce errors that are difficult to detect. For long-running workflows, I think it is more robust to separate working context, a persistent state store and an audit log, using idempotency keys and versioning to avoid duplicated side effects and context drift.

Absolutely agree. At a certain level of workflow complexity, context management alone isn't enough. Separating working context from durable operational state and the audit trail makes retries, handoffs, and side effects much easier to reason about. Idempotency and versioning are especially important when multiple agents can act on the same state. This is a useful extension to the context-resilience argument in the article.
