Orchestration End to End: One Request Through the Whole System

The connective-tissue module. One real request traced through routing, fan-out, delegation, state, a human gate and a reply — with the seams the pattern modules cannot show you: who owns control at each hop, what crosses each boundary, what happens when worker three fails, and how the whole thing reads as a single trace.

Lessons

  1. One request, end to end
  2. Who owns control at each hop
  3. What crosses the boundary: payload, identity, budget
