Part 1: Production State Persistence (15 minutes)

Advanced State Persistence Strategies

🗂️ File: src/session3/enterprise_state_management.py - Production state systems

Modern enterprise workflows require robust state persistence that can handle failures, scaling, and complex recovery scenarios:

Enterprise Infrastructure Setup

We begin by importing the components needed for production-grade state management across different backend systems:

from langgraph.checkpoint.postgres import PostgresSaver
from langgraph.checkpoint.redis import RedisSaver
from langgraph.checkpoint.memory import MemorySaver
from typing import TypedDict, Annotated, Sequence, Dict, Any, Optional
import operator
import asyncio
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
import logging

These imports provide access to multiple persistence backends, enabling deployment flexibility from development (memory) through staging (Redis) to production (PostgreSQL) environments.

Enterprise State Schema Foundation

The enterprise state schema extends basic workflow tracking with comprehensive monitoring and recovery capabilities. Let's start with the core workflow elements:

class EnterpriseAgentState(TypedDict):
    """Enterprise-grade state schema with comprehensive tracking"""

    # Core workflow data
    messages: Annotated[Sequence[BaseMessage], operator.add]
    current_task: str
    results: Dict[str, Any]
    iteration_count: int

The core workflow data maintains essential processing state including message sequences with automatic aggregation, current task tracking, accumulated results, and iteration counting for loop detection.

Production Workflow Tracking

Next, we add production-specific identifiers and versioning for enterprise deployments:

    # Production features (2025)
    workflow_id: str
    created_at: datetime
    last_updated: datetime
    state_version: int

Production features enable workflow identification, temporal tracking, and version control. These elements support audit trails, performance analysis, and debugging in enterprise environments.

Orchestrator-Worker Pattern Support

We include specialized fields for managing distributed worker architectures:

    # Orchestrator-worker pattern support
    active_workers: list[str]
    worker_results: Dict[str, Dict[str, Any]]
    orchestrator_commands: list[Dict[str, Any]]

Worker pattern support tracks active worker instances, collects results from distributed processing, and maintains command history for coordination analysis and replay capabilities.

Monitoring and Enterprise Management

Finally, we add comprehensive monitoring and enterprise state management capabilities:

    # Monitoring and observability
    execution_metrics: Dict[str, float]
    error_history: list[Dict[str, Any]]
    performance_data: Dict[str, Any]

    # Enterprise state management
    checkpoint_metadata: Dict[str, Any]
    rollback_points: list[Dict[str, Any]]
    state_integrity_hash: str

Enterprise State Manager Architecture

The EnterpriseStateManager provides production-ready state persistence with environment-specific backends and comprehensive monitoring:

class EnterpriseStateManager:
    """Production-ready state management with multiple persistence backends"""

    def __init__(self, environment: str = "production"):
        self.environment = environment
        self.persistence_config = self._configure_persistence()
        self.logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

The manager initialization establishes environment context and configures appropriate persistence strategies. Environment-specific configuration ensures optimal performance characteristics for each deployment stage.

Multi-Environment Persistence Configuration

Persistence configuration adapts to different deployment environments with appropriate backend technologies:

    def _configure_persistence(self) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        """Configure persistence strategies for different environments"""

        if self.environment == "production":
            # PostgreSQL for enterprise deployments
            return {
                "primary": PostgresSaver.from_conn_string(
                    "postgresql://user:pass@prod-cluster:5432/langgraph_state"
                ),
                "backup": PostgresSaver.from_conn_string(
                    "postgresql://user:pass@backup-cluster:5432/langgraph_state"
                ),
                "type": "postgres_cluster"
            }

Production environments use PostgreSQL clusters with primary and backup configurations. This ensures data durability, ACID compliance, and disaster recovery capabilities essential for enterprise deployments.

Staging and Development Backends

Different environments use optimized backends suited to their specific requirements:

        elif self.environment == "staging":
            # Redis for high-performance scenarios
            return {
                "primary": RedisSaver(
                    host="redis-cluster.staging",
                    port=6379,
                    db=0,
                    cluster_mode=True
                ),
                "type": "redis_cluster"
            }

        else:  # development
            return {
                "primary": MemorySaver(),
                "type": "memory"
            }

Production Workflow Construction

The production workflow integrates comprehensive state management with monitoring and recovery capabilities:

    def create_production_workflow(self) -> StateGraph:
        """Create workflow with enterprise state management"""

        workflow = StateGraph(EnterpriseAgentState)

        # Add production nodes with state tracking
        workflow.add_node("state_initializer", self._initialize_enterprise_state)
        workflow.add_node("orchestrator", self._orchestrator_with_state_tracking)
        workflow.add_node("state_monitor", self._monitor_state_health)
        workflow.add_node("checkpoint_manager", self._manage_checkpoints)
        workflow.add_node("recovery_handler", self._handle_state_recovery)

        # Configure enterprise edges with state validation
        self._configure_enterprise_edges(workflow)

        return workflow.compile(
            checkpointer=self.persistence_config["primary"],
            interrupt_before=["checkpoint_manager"],  # Manual intervention points
            debug=True  # Comprehensive logging
        )

Enterprise State Initialization

State initialization establishes comprehensive tracking infrastructure for enterprise workflows:

    def _initialize_enterprise_state(self, state: EnterpriseAgentState) -> EnterpriseAgentState:
        """Initialize state with enterprise metadata and tracking"""

        workflow_id = f"workflow_{datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d_%H%M%S')}_{hash(state.get('current_task', ''))}"

Workflow ID generation creates unique identifiers combining timestamp and task hash. This enables workflow tracking, correlation with external systems, and debugging across distributed environments.

Comprehensive Metadata Creation

We establish core tracking metadata and worker management infrastructure:

        # Create comprehensive state initialization
        enterprise_metadata = {
            "workflow_id": workflow_id,
            "created_at": datetime.now(),
            "last_updated": datetime.now(),
            "state_version": 1,
            "active_workers": [],
            "worker_results": {},
            "orchestrator_commands": [],

Core metadata establishes workflow identity, temporal tracking, and version control. Worker management fields prepare for distributed processing coordination.

Performance Monitoring Infrastructure

Next, we initialize comprehensive performance and execution tracking:

            "execution_metrics": {
                "start_time": datetime.now().timestamp(),
                "node_execution_times": {},
                "state_update_count": 0,
                "error_count": 0
            },
            "error_history": [],
            "performance_data": {
                "memory_usage": self._get_memory_usage(),
                "cpu_utilization": 0.0,
                "throughput_metrics": {}
            },

Execution metrics track processing performance including timing, state changes, and error rates. Performance data captures resource utilization for optimization and capacity planning.

Checkpoint and Recovery Infrastructure

Finally, we establish enterprise-grade checkpoint and recovery capabilities:

            "checkpoint_metadata": {
                "last_checkpoint": datetime.now(),
                "checkpoint_frequency": 30,  # seconds
                "auto_checkpoint_enabled": True
            },
            "rollback_points": [],
            "state_integrity_hash": self._calculate_state_hash(state)
        }

        return {
            **state,
            **enterprise_metadata
        }

    def _orchestrator_with_state_tracking(self, state: EnterpriseAgentState) -> List[Send]:
        """Orchestrator with comprehensive state tracking and worker management"""

        current_task = state["current_task"]

        # Update execution metrics
        updated_metrics = state["execution_metrics"].copy()
        updated_metrics["state_update_count"] += 1
        updated_metrics["last_orchestrator_call"] = datetime.now().timestamp()

        # Analyze task complexity for worker allocation
        task_complexity = self._analyze_task_complexity(current_task, state)

Task Complexity Analysis and Worker Allocation

Based on the complexity analysis, the orchestrator determines which specialized workers are needed for the current task:

        worker_commands = []
        active_workers = []

        if task_complexity["requires_research"]:
            # Spawn specialized research workers
            research_workers = self._create_research_workers(task_complexity, state)
            worker_commands.extend(research_workers)
            active_workers.extend([cmd.node for cmd in research_workers])

        if task_complexity["requires_analysis"]:
            # Spawn analysis workers
            analysis_workers = self._create_analysis_workers(task_complexity, state)
            worker_commands.extend(analysis_workers)
            active_workers.extend([cmd.node for cmd in analysis_workers])

Worker allocation follows domain-specific requirements. Research workers handle information gathering while analysis workers process and synthesize findings. The allocation strategy adapts to task complexity.

Command Logging and State Update

Finally, we log the orchestration decision and update the workflow state with tracking information:

        # Create orchestrator command log
        orchestrator_command = {
            "timestamp": datetime.now(),
            "task_complexity": task_complexity,
            "workers_spawned": len(worker_commands),
            "worker_types": [cmd.node for cmd in worker_commands],
            "reasoning": f"Task analysis indicated {task_complexity['complexity_score']} complexity"
        }

        return {
            **state,
            "active_workers": active_workers,
            "orchestrator_commands": state["orchestrator_commands"] + [orchestrator_command],
            "execution_metrics": updated_metrics,
            "last_updated": datetime.now(),
            "state_version": state["state_version"] + 1,
            "worker_spawn_commands": worker_commands
        }

    def _create_research_workers(self, task_complexity: Dict[str, Any], 
                               state: EnterpriseAgentState) -> List[Send]:
        """Create specialized research workers based on task analysis"""

        workers = []

        if task_complexity["domain_technical"]:
            workers.append(Send("technical_research_worker", {
                "focus": "technical_analysis",
                "depth": "comprehensive",
                "task_id": f"tech_{datetime.now().strftime('%H%M%S')}",
                "allocated_time": 300,
                "quality_threshold": 0.8
            }))

        if task_complexity["domain_market"]:
            workers.append(Send("market_research_worker", {
                "focus": "market_analysis",
                "depth": "standard",
                "task_id": f"market_{datetime.now().strftime('%H%M%S')}",
                "allocated_time": 240,
                "quality_threshold": 0.7
            }))

        if task_complexity["domain_competitive"]:
            workers.append(Send("competitive_research_worker", {
                "focus": "competitive_landscape",
                "depth": "detailed",
                "task_id": f"comp_{datetime.now().strftime('%H%M%S')}",
                "allocated_time": 360,
                "quality_threshold": 0.75
            }))

        return workers

    def _monitor_state_health(self, state: EnterpriseAgentState) -> EnterpriseAgentState:
        """Continuous state health monitoring with automatic recovery"""

        # Check state integrity
        current_hash = self._calculate_state_hash(state)
        integrity_valid = current_hash == state.get("state_integrity_hash", "")

        # Monitor performance metrics
        execution_metrics = state["execution_metrics"]
        current_time = datetime.now().timestamp()
        execution_duration = current_time - execution_metrics["start_time"]

State integrity validation ensures data consistency while performance monitoring tracks execution efficiency and resource utilization for health assessment.

Comprehensive Health Assessment

The health assessment evaluates multiple dimensions of workflow state:

        # Health assessment
        health_status = {
            "state_integrity": "valid" if integrity_valid else "corrupted",
            "execution_duration": execution_duration,
            "memory_usage": self._get_memory_usage(),
            "error_rate": len(state["error_history"]) / max(state["iteration_count"], 1),
            "worker_health": self._assess_worker_health(state),
            "checkpoint_status": self._assess_checkpoint_health(state)
        }

Health status assessment combines integrity validation, performance tracking, and error monitoring to provide comprehensive workflow health visibility.

Automatic Recovery Actions

Based on health assessment, the system determines appropriate recovery actions:

        # Automatic recovery actions
        recovery_actions = []
        if health_status["error_rate"] > 0.3:
            recovery_actions.append("enable_circuit_breaker")

        if not integrity_valid:
            recovery_actions.append("initiate_state_recovery")

        if execution_duration > 1800:  # 30 minutes
            recovery_actions.append("create_checkpoint")

Recovery actions are triggered automatically based on configurable thresholds. Circuit breakers prevent cascade failures, state recovery restores integrity, and checkpoints preserve progress.

State Integration and Return

Finally, we integrate health monitoring data into the workflow state:

        # Update state with health information
        updated_performance = state["performance_data"].copy()
        updated_performance["health_status"] = health_status
        updated_performance["recovery_actions"] = recovery_actions
        updated_performance["last_health_check"] = datetime.now()

State health integration preserves monitoring data for downstream analysis. Performance data updates include health assessments, recovery recommendations, and check timestamps for trend analysis and alerting.

        return {
            **state,
            "performance_data": updated_performance,
            "state_integrity_hash": self._calculate_state_hash(state),
            "last_updated": datetime.now()
        }

    def _manage_checkpoints(self, state: EnterpriseAgentState) -> EnterpriseAgentState:
        """Intelligent checkpoint management with automatic rollback capabilities"""

        checkpoint_metadata = state["checkpoint_metadata"]
        last_checkpoint = checkpoint_metadata["last_checkpoint"]
        frequency = checkpoint_metadata["checkpoint_frequency"]

        # Determine if checkpoint is needed
        time_since_last = (datetime.now() - last_checkpoint).total_seconds()
        checkpoint_needed = (
            time_since_last >= frequency or
            state["execution_metrics"]["error_count"] > 0 or
            len(state["active_workers"]) != len(state["worker_results"])
        )

        if checkpoint_needed:
            # Create rollback point
            rollback_point = {
                "timestamp": datetime.now(),
                "state_version": state["state_version"],
                "checkpoint_reason": self._determine_checkpoint_reason(state, time_since_last),
                "state_snapshot": {
                    "results": state["results"].copy(),
                    "execution_metrics": state["execution_metrics"].copy(),
                    "worker_results": state["worker_results"].copy()
                },

Rollback point creation captures complete workflow state. Timestamp enables temporal recovery, version tracking provides consistency, reason documentation aids debugging, and state snapshots preserve critical data.

                "recovery_metadata": {
                    "workflow_health": "stable",
                    "can_rollback": True,
                    "checkpoint_size_mb": self._estimate_checkpoint_size(state)
                }
            }

Recovery metadata supports checkpoint management decisions. Health status indicates recovery viability, rollback capability flags enable/disable restoration, and size estimates support storage planning.

            # Update checkpoint metadata
            updated_checkpoint_metadata = checkpoint_metadata.copy()
            updated_checkpoint_metadata["last_checkpoint"] = datetime.now()
            updated_checkpoint_metadata["total_checkpoints"] = checkpoint_metadata.get("total_checkpoints", 0) + 1

            return {
                **state,
                "rollback_points": state["rollback_points"] + [rollback_point],
                "checkpoint_metadata": updated_checkpoint_metadata,
                "state_version": state["state_version"] + 1,
                "last_updated": datetime.now()
            }

        return state

    def _calculate_state_hash(self, state: EnterpriseAgentState) -> str:
        """Calculate integrity hash for state validation"""
        import hashlib
        import json

        # Create state representation for hashing
        hash_data = {
            "workflow_id": state.get("workflow_id", ""),
            "results": str(state.get("results", {})),
            "iteration_count": state.get("iteration_count", 0),
            "state_version": state.get("state_version", 0)
        }

        hash_string = json.dumps(hash_data, sort_keys=True)
        return hashlib.sha256(hash_string.encode()).hexdigest()

Part 2: Advanced Routing and Decision Making (20 minutes)

Sophisticated Multi-Factor Routing Logic

🗂️ File: src/session3/advanced_routing_patterns.py - Complex decision systems

Enterprise workflows require intelligent routing that considers multiple factors beyond simple conditions.

Routing Infrastructure Setup

We start by establishing the foundational components for multi-factor routing decisions:

from enum import Enum
from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import List, Dict, Any, Optional
import numpy as np

class RoutingDecision(Enum):
    """Enumeration of possible routing decisions"""
    HIGH_QUALITY_PATH = "high_quality_path"
    STANDARD_QUALITY_PATH = "standard_quality_path"
    RETRY_WITH_IMPROVEMENTS = "retry_with_improvements"
    CIRCUIT_BREAKER_MODE = "circuit_breaker_mode"
    FALLBACK_PROCESSING = "fallback_processing"
    ESCALATION_REQUIRED = "escalation_required"

Routing decision enumeration defines the possible workflow paths. Each option represents a different strategy for handling workflow execution based on current conditions and constraints.

Routing Context Data Structure

The routing context captures all factors that influence routing decisions:

@dataclass
class RoutingContext:
    """Context information for routing decisions"""
    quality_score: float
    performance_score: float
    error_rate: float
    resource_utilization: float
    business_priority: str
    execution_deadline: Optional[datetime]
    cost_constraints: Dict[str, float]

Context information provides comprehensive decision-making data including quality metrics, performance indicators, error tracking, resource usage, business constraints, and deadline pressure.

Enterprise Routing Engine Foundation

The routing engine maintains decision history and performance thresholds for intelligent routing:

class EnterpriseRoutingEngine:
    """Advanced routing engine with multi-factor decision making"""

    def __init__(self):
        self.routing_history = []
        self.performance_thresholds = {
            "high_quality": {"quality": 0.9, "performance": 0.8, "error_rate": 0.05},
            "standard_quality": {"quality": 0.7, "performance": 0.6, "error_rate": 0.15},
            "circuit_breaker": {"error_rate": 0.5, "performance": 0.3}
        }
        self.logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

Advanced Multi-Factor Decision Process

The core routing decision process integrates multiple analysis stages to determine optimal workflow paths:

    def advanced_routing_decision(self, state: EnterpriseAgentState) -> str:
        """Advanced decision function with comprehensive multi-factor analysis"""

        # Extract routing context from state
        context = self._extract_routing_context(state)

        # Multi-dimensional scoring system
        decision_scores = self._calculate_decision_scores(context, state)

        # Apply business rules and constraints
        constrained_decisions = self._apply_business_constraints(decision_scores, context)

        # Select optimal routing decision
        optimal_decision = self._select_optimal_decision(constrained_decisions, context)

        # Log decision for analysis and improvement
        self._log_routing_decision(optimal_decision, context, decision_scores, state)

        return optimal_decision.value

Routing Context Extraction

Context extraction analyzes workflow state to gather all factors influencing routing decisions:

    def _extract_routing_context(self, state: EnterpriseAgentState) -> RoutingContext:
        """Extract comprehensive routing context from workflow state"""

        # Calculate quality metrics
        analysis_result = state["results"].get("analysis", "")
        quality_score = self._calculate_quality_score(analysis_result)

Quality assessment analyzes the current analysis results to determine output quality. This score influences whether high-quality or standard processing paths are appropriate.

Performance and Error Analysis

We extract performance indicators and calculate error rates for decision making:

        # Extract performance metrics
        execution_metrics = state.get("execution_metrics", {})
        performance_score = execution_metrics.get("performance_score", 0.5)

        # Calculate error rates
        error_history = state.get("error_history", [])
        iteration_count = state.get("iteration_count", 1)
        error_rate = len(error_history) / max(iteration_count, 1)

Performance metrics track execution efficiency while error rate calculation provides reliability indicators. These metrics determine whether circuit breaker or retry strategies are appropriate.

Resource and Business Context Analysis

Finally, we gather resource utilization and business constraint information:

Decision Score Calculation

Weighted scoring evaluates each routing option across multiple performance dimensions:

    def _calculate_decision_scores(self, context: RoutingContext, 
                                 state: EnterpriseAgentState) -> Dict[RoutingDecision, float]:
        """Calculate weighted scores for each routing decision"""

        scores = {}

        # High Quality Path Score
        high_quality_score = (
            context.quality_score * 0.4 +
            context.performance_score * 0.3 +
            (1.0 - context.error_rate) * 0.2 +
            (1.0 - context.resource_utilization) * 0.1
        )
        scores[RoutingDecision.HIGH_QUALITY_PATH] = high_quality_score

High quality scoring prioritizes result excellence. Quality receives 40% weight, performance 30%, error resistance 20%, and resource efficiency 10%, creating a premium path for optimal outcomes.

        # Standard Quality Path Score
        standard_quality_score = (
            min(context.quality_score * 1.2, 1.0) * 0.4 +
            min(context.performance_score * 1.1, 1.0) * 0.3 +
            (1.0 - min(context.error_rate * 2.0, 1.0)) * 0.3
        )
        scores[RoutingDecision.STANDARD_QUALITY_PATH] = standard_quality_score

        # Retry with Improvements Score
        retry_score = 0.0
        if state.get("iteration_count", 0) < 3:
            retry_score = (
                (0.8 - context.quality_score) * 0.5 +  # Improvement potential
                context.performance_score * 0.3 +
                (1.0 - context.error_rate) * 0.2
            )
        scores[RoutingDecision.RETRY_WITH_IMPROVEMENTS] = retry_score

Retry scoring evaluates improvement potential with iteration limits. Quality gap analysis (50% weight) identifies enhancement opportunities, while performance and error rates indicate retry viability.

        # Circuit Breaker Score
        circuit_breaker_score = (
            context.error_rate * 0.6 +
            (1.0 - context.performance_score) * 0.3 +
            context.resource_utilization * 0.1
        )
        scores[RoutingDecision.CIRCUIT_BREAKER_MODE] = circuit_breaker_score

        # Fallback Processing Score
        fallback_score = (
            (1.0 - context.quality_score) * 0.4 +
            (1.0 - context.performance_score) * 0.3 +
            context.error_rate * 0.3
        )
        scores[RoutingDecision.FALLBACK_PROCESSING] = fallback_score

Fallback scoring responds to degraded conditions. Poor quality (40%), low performance (30%), and high error rates (30%) trigger simplified processing with reduced expectations.

        # Escalation Required Score
        escalation_score = 0.0
        if (context.business_priority == "critical" and 
            (context.quality_score < 0.6 or context.error_rate > 0.4)):
            escalation_score = 0.9
        scores[RoutingDecision.ESCALATION_REQUIRED] = escalation_score

        return scores

    def _apply_business_constraints(self, decision_scores: Dict[RoutingDecision, float],
                                  context: RoutingContext) -> Dict[RoutingDecision, float]:
        """Apply business rules and constraints to routing decisions"""

        constrained_scores = decision_scores.copy()

        # Critical priority overrides
        if context.business_priority == "critical":
            # Boost high-quality and escalation paths
            constrained_scores[RoutingDecision.HIGH_QUALITY_PATH] *= 1.3
            constrained_scores[RoutingDecision.ESCALATION_REQUIRED] *= 1.2
            # Reduce fallback processing for critical tasks
            constrained_scores[RoutingDecision.FALLBACK_PROCESSING] *= 0.5

Critical priority adjustments ensure high-stakes tasks receive premium processing. Quality paths gain 30% boost, escalation gets 20% increase, while fallback processing is reduced by 50% to maintain standards.

        # Deadline pressure adjustments
        if context.execution_deadline:
            time_remaining = (context.execution_deadline - datetime.now()).total_seconds()
            if time_remaining < 600:  # Less than 10 minutes
                # Favor faster paths under time pressure
                constrained_scores[RoutingDecision.STANDARD_QUALITY_PATH] *= 1.2
                constrained_scores[RoutingDecision.RETRY_WITH_IMPROVEMENTS] *= 0.3

Deadline pressure optimization balances speed with quality. Under 10-minute deadlines, standard quality paths receive 20% boost while retry attempts are reduced 70% to ensure timely completion.

        # Cost constraint considerations
        max_cost = context.cost_constraints.get("max_cost", float('inf'))
        if max_cost < 50.0:  # Low cost budget
            # Reduce resource-intensive paths
            constrained_scores[RoutingDecision.HIGH_QUALITY_PATH] *= 0.7
            constrained_scores[RoutingDecision.FALLBACK_PROCESSING] *= 1.2

        return constrained_scores

                    viable_decisions[decision] = score

High quality path validation ensures strict threshold compliance. Quality ≥0.9, performance ≥0.8, and error rate ≤0.05 requirements maintain premium processing standards for optimal outcomes.

        workflow.add_node("continuous_monitor", self._monitor_context_evolution)
        workflow.add_node("decision_engine", self._make_contextual_decisions)

Each node specializes in a specific aspect of contextual processing: analysis, adaptation, updating, monitoring, and decision-making. This separation enables precise control over context evolution.

Dynamic Context-Based Routing

The routing system adapts workflow paths based on changing contextual understanding:

        # Dynamic routing based on evolving context
        workflow.add_conditional_edges(
            "context_analyzer",
            self._route_based_on_context,
            {
                "deep_analysis_needed": "adaptive_processor",
                "context_shift_detected": "context_updater",
                "continue_monitoring": "continuous_monitor",
                "decision_point_reached": "decision_engine",
                "processing_complete": END
            }
        )

Conditional routing enables dynamic path selection based on contextual analysis. Deep analysis, context shifts, monitoring, and decision points each trigger appropriate specialized processing.

Continuous Feedback Loops

The workflow establishes feedback loops to maintain contextual awareness throughout execution:

        # Continuous feedback loops for context awareness
        workflow.add_edge("continuous_monitor", "context_analyzer")
        workflow.add_edge("context_updater", "context_analyzer")
        workflow.add_edge("adaptive_processor", "context_analyzer")
        workflow.add_edge("decision_engine", "context_analyzer")

        workflow.set_entry_point("context_analyzer")

        return workflow.compile()
