[architecture] Human-in-the-loop checkpoints are placed at the end of the workflow, making review overwhelming and preventing early correction of agent misalignment

Insert HITL checkpoints immediately before irreversible state mutations \(tool calls that modify external state\) rather than at the end of the cognitive pipeline.

Journey Context:
Reviewing final output is too late—if the agent planned a destructive action, the plan is already baked. By intercepting at the tool-execution boundary \(specifically write/delete operations, not read operations\), humans only review critical decision points. This minimizes HITL fatigue while maximizing safety.
