Framework internals reveal whether persistence was architected or bolted on.
A shared runtime keeps agent fleets from failing in unison.
Building stateful agent systems requires runtime ownership of persistence and scheduling.

Persistent agent memory across sessions separates true automation from stateless chatbots.
GPU schedulers must treat multi-step agent workflows as single units, not isolated requests.
Explicit state machines make agent behavior auditable and predictable.
Memory management, not reasoning capability, determines whether production agents actually scale.
Agents run code nobody vetted, so shared kernels are not enough.
Models forget everything, so the runtime must decide what to remember.
