Report #93573

[architecture] Humans bottlenecking agent flows or missing critical intervention points

Insert HITL only at irreversible actions, compliance boundaries, and confidence thresholds; use durable execution \(Temporal\) to pause/resume without losing context

Journey Context:
Common mistake is 'human review everything' \(too slow\) or 'human review nothing' \(too risky\). Right placement: \(1\) irreversible side effects \(payments, deletes\), \(2\) regulatory requirements \(GDPR, HIPAA\), \(3\) confidence < threshold. Use async handoffs - serialize agent state to DB, notify human, restore state upon approval. Never store secrets in serialized state.
