Memory Management Insights:
- Memory Distribution: Agent Processes (67%), Optimization (15%), Foundation (14%), Coordination (4%)
- Data Amplification: 10KB request → 15KB → 25KB → 50KB → 35KB response (3.5x amplification)
- Memory Hotspots: Agent processes consume 8.4MB vs 680KB for variable spaces (12:1 ratio)
- GC Pressure: Agent memory triggers GC every 15s vs coordination every 30s
- Optimization Potential: Process pooling could reduce memory by 60%
🚨 DESIGN GAP DETECTED: No memory pooling or sharing between agents. Each agent loads full context independently.

- Execution Rerouting: Agent B adapted and executed in 18s vs original estimated 15s
- Quality Impact: 2% degradation (0.96 → 0.94) acceptable for resilience
- Total Delay: 18s additional execution time vs complete failure
- System Learning: Error pattern recorded for future optimization
🚨 DESIGN GAP DETECTED: Current system lacks structured error recovery protocols. No automatic task rerouting or adaptive error handling between layers.
Summary of Integration Boundary Issues:
1. Memory Inefficiency Across Boundaries
Problem: 12:1 memory ratio between agent processes and variable spaces Impact: Poor memory utilization, frequent GC pressure Solution: Shared memory pools, streaming configurations
2. Missing Error Recovery Protocols
Problem: No structured error propagation or recovery between layers
Impact: Single points of failure, poor resilience
Solution: Multi-layer error handling with automatic task rerouting
3. Observability Gaps
Problem: No cross-layer tracing, missing coordination visibility Impact: Difficult debugging, poor system insight Solution: Unified trace IDs, coordination event schemas
4. Data Amplification
Problem: 3.5x data size growth from request to response Impact: Network overhead, memory pressure Solution: Compression, streaming, data structure optimization
5. Layer Coordination Overhead
Problem: 12% coordination overhead for multi-agent vs single-agent Impact: Performance degradation for simple tasks Solution: Smart coordination thresholds, direct execution paths
These integration boundary diagrams reveal that while each layer functions well individually, the cross-layer coordination introduces significant overhead and complexity that needs architectural optimization.
