Dead-Letter Queues for Failed Agent Jobs
A dead-letter queue nobody watches is where work gets forgotten. What belongs in a DLQ, how to alert on it, and how to replay safely once the cause is fixed.

Benchmarking Agents: What Public Numbers Can and Can't Show
Public agent benchmarks help narrow a shortlist but mislead as a selection criterion. What they measure, how contamination distorts them, how to test your own.
