Context Management & Reliability (D5)

Context Management & Reliability (D5) is where agents earn trust: keeping critical information alive across long interactions, propagating errors sanely, and knowing when to escalate to a human. It's the domain people fail most — and the one that separates a demo from something you'd put in production.

Expect questions on managing conversation context over long sessions, designing escalation and ambiguity-resolution patterns, propagating errors across multi-agent systems, handling context during large-codebase exploration, building human-review workflows with confidence calibration, and preserving provenance and uncertainty when synthesizing multiple sources.
