Part 2 — For the Developer
Ch. 9 — The Architecture of a Compliant Agent

Compliance obligations don't attach to models. They attach to systems. Before you can reason about what your agent must do, you need a precise map of what it is made of.

The developer chapters draw on three tools throughout: LangChain for orchestration and chain-of-thought patterns, LangSmith for observability and audit traces, and Deep Agents for human-in-the-loop approval flows and permission enforcement. Where a pattern is framework-agnostic, the code is illustrative. Where a specific API is shown, it is the most direct implementation available.
