[architecture] Human-in-the-loop checkpoints are placed only at the end of a multi-agent pipeline

Insert HITL checkpoints immediately before irreversible side effects \(e.g., executing a payment\) or after high-ambiguity steps \(e.g., intent classification\), rather than at the end of the workflow.

Journey Context:
Reviewing the final output of a 5-step agent chain is cognitively overwhelming and unactionable—if step 1 was wrong, the whole thing must be rerun. By placing the checkpoint at the point of mutation or ambiguity, the human only reviews a small, targeted payload. Tradeoff: more interruptions to the workflow, but drastically reduces the cost of errors and rework.
