Report #47342

[architecture] Human-in-the-loop is placed at the end of the workflow or at every step, causing either uncorrectable failures or alert fatigue

Insert HITL interrupts only at state transitions where side effects are irreversible \(e.g., before executing code, sending emails, or making purchases\).

Journey Context:
Humans ignore HITL prompts if they are too frequent. The architecture must distinguish between 'read' or 'compute' steps \(reversible, safe\) and 'write' or 'act' steps \(irreversible, risky\). The orchestrator should use a tool-execution interrupt pattern: pause before tool dispatch, show the proposed tool call to the human, and wait for approval. This minimizes friction while maximizing safety.
