Chapters

  1. Chapter 9: Single-Agent and Multi-Agent Systems
  2. Chapter 13: Multi-Agent Coordination, Routing, and Dynamic Switching

Chapter 9 compares context isolation, task coupling, costs, and evaluation baselines. Chapter 13 goes further into message semantics, concurrent writes, leases, budgets, and failure recovery.
