I know it's a type of blasphemy here, but deterministic workflows such as what you describe is where langgraph really shines imo.

It is not blasphemy if langgraph is trying to do that. As I understand langgraph manages orchestration in custom built agents. I usually stay away from systems which already make it seem as if building agents is a ritual.

What I am saying is the opposite - use Claude Code or whatever else - generate actual "programs". Basically scripts. We have tons of ways for "programs" to interact with each other. Then have clearly defined edge case handlers - think "try/catch". How far do you want to go down the rabbit hole in the "catch"? Do you want to re-write a new version of the "program" itself? I do not know, but this type of a system is what Unix already is, with the addition of programs themselves reaching out to LLMs in well defined edge case handlers.
