Unwinding and Draining Agent Work Safely

A multi-step agent workflow that stops halfway leaves the world in a mixed state, and a restart that interrupts in-flight work leaves a record that is neither done nor cleanly retryable. This course covers the compensation pattern for partial workflows and the graceful drain for restarts: pairing each irreversible step with its undo, unwinding in reverse order, draining in-flight tasks against a deadline, and replaying recorded work once.
