11. Pattern Selection Framework

Closes the catalog with a decision framework - a scorecard across coordination overhead, failure isolation, latency, and observability - for choosing among the patterns covered in this part for a given problem shape.

10. Agent Mesh Pattern

Covers a decentralized mesh of peer agents that discover and negotiate with each other directly, contrasted with the centralized orchestrator/supervisor patterns earlier in this catalog, and the discovery/trust problems a mesh introduces.

1. Architectural Thinking

Introduces the pattern-catalog framing for the rest of this part: how to evaluate an agentic architecture pattern against determinism, cost, latency, and blast-radius trade-offs rather than picking the newest framework default.

6. Blackboard Pattern

Covers the blackboard architecture - a shared, structured workspace multiple specialist agents read and write to opportunistically - and where it beats explicit message-passing for loosely-coupled multi-agent collaboration.

7. Event-Driven Pattern

Covers building agent systems on an event bus rather than direct request/response calls, including event schema design, at-least-once delivery handling, and idempotent agent reactions to replayed events.
