+---
+
+## What it is
+
+An agent acting for a user needs more than a bearer credential with broad account access.
+Authenticated delegation combines a verifiable agent identity with a short-lived grant constrained
+to the intended audience, capability, resource, amount, and lifetime. The resource server verifies
+those constraints itself and attributes every attempt to both user and agent.
+
+This complements Tool Authorization. That pattern enforces a capability inside one host;
+authenticated delegation carries narrow authority across a service boundary.
+
+## When to use it
+
+- An agent calls payments, healthcare, enterprise, or other protected services for a user.
+- Multiple agents or services must preserve the delegation chain.
+- Audit records must answer who delegated what to which agent.
+
+## How the demo works
+
+DelegationAuthority issues an HMAC-signed teaching grant for one agent to create a payment for one
+invoice, up to EUR 100, at one audience, for five minutes. DelegatedResourceServer verifies the
+signature and every constraint before authorizing EUR 75, refuses EUR 125, and records both
+decisions with the user and agent identities.
+
+~~~mermaid
+flowchart LR
+ U[Authenticated user] --> I[Delegation authority]
+ I -->|signed narrow grant| A[Named agent]
+ A -->|request + grant| R[Resource server]
+ R --> V[Verify signature, audience,
identity, scope, resource,
amount, time]
+ V -->|allow or deny| L[Attributable audit log]
+~~~
+
+## Key APIs
+
+- DelegationGrant is immutable signed authority, including agent and user identities.
+- DelegationAuthority signs a canonical payload and verifies with fixed-time comparison.
+- DelegatedResourceServer.Authorize rechecks the concrete request and logs every outcome.
+
+## Production boundary
+
+HMAC keeps the sample dependency-free, but it makes issuer and verifier share a secret. Production
+systems should use standard OAuth/OIDC delegation with asymmetric proof, issuer and audience
+validation, key rotation, revocation, replay protection, and secure workload identity. See the
+[pattern catalog entry](https://agentic-design.ai/patterns/security-privacy/authenticated-delegation).

+---
+
+## What it is
+
+Computer-use agents operate software through the visual interface: capture the current screen,
+ground an action in visible coordinates, apply mouse or keyboard input, then observe the result.
+The fresh observation is essential because popups, navigation, and delayed UI updates invalidate
+plans made from an older screen.
+
+## When to use it
+
+- A legacy or third-party application has no suitable API.
+- The task depends on a rendered interface rather than structured data.
+- A disposable, least-privilege desktop can contain mistakes.
+
+Prefer a stable API when one exists. Pixels are slower, more expensive, and more brittle.
+
+## How the demo works
+
+The sample uses a text-serializable virtual desktop, so it is safe and repeatable without taking
+control of the user's machine. A consent popup initially hides Settings. On every step the Agent
+Framework operator receives only the latest screenshot and proposes one click. VirtualDesktop
+rejects unsupported actions and coordinates that do not identify a visible element. The runner
+captures the post-action screen and stops when dark mode is enabled or six steps are exhausted.
+
+~~~mermaid

+ R --> G[Host validates and applies]
+ G --> O[Capture observation]
+ O -->|goal not met| S
+ O -->|goal met or budget spent| E[Stop]
+~~~
+
+## Key APIs
+
+- ScreenSnapshot is the only state supplied to the operator.
+- VirtualDesktop.Apply enforces the allowed action vocabulary and visible-coordinate check.
+- ComputerUseRunner.RunAsync owns observation and the hard step bound.
+
+## Production boundary
+
+This is interaction-loop logic, not a secure browser or desktop sandbox. Real computer use needs
+an isolated VM or browser, restricted network and credentials, confirmation for consequential
+actions, secrets redaction, timeouts, and complete audit capture. See the
+[pattern catalog entry](https://agentic-design.ai/patterns/tool-use/computer-use).

+
+## What it is
+
+Agent changes can regress quality without crashing. Progressive rollout limits the blast radius:

+and offline evidence passes a predefined gate.

+## When to use it
+
+- Releasing a new prompt, model, tool set, retrieval strategy, or policy.
+- Quality, safety, latency, or failure metrics can be compared with a stable control.

+RolloutController starts in Shadow. It always runs the candidate there but never serves its
+answer. Healthy windows promote it through a 5% canary, a 25% ramp, and full traffic. Request IDs
+are SHA-256 bucketed so routing is stable. A later score and failure-rate regression immediately
+moves the controller to RolledBack, where the candidate no longer runs or serves.
+

+
+## Key APIs
+
+- Route returns separate RunCandidate and ServeCandidate decisions.
+- Observe collects a minimum window before promotion or rollback.
+- RolloutPolicy owns sample count, score-regression, failure-rate, and traffic thresholds.
+
+## Production boundary
+
+The demo uses simple window averages, not statistical significance, guardrail-specific metrics,
+or a deployment control plane. Production gates should include confidence intervals, safety
+metrics, minimum exposure time, alerting, and an audited rollback integration. See the
+[pattern catalog entry](https://agentic-design.ai/patterns/evaluation-monitoring/progressive-agent-rollout).

+}
+---
+
+## What it is
+
+A multi-step agent workflow often crosses services that cannot share one database transaction.
+Reversible action compensation treats the workflow as a saga: every forward step has an explicit
+compensating action, and a failure triggers those compensations in reverse completion order.
+
+Compensation is a new business action, not an ACID rollback. Refunding a charge may itself fail,
+so that failure must be recorded and repaired or escalated.
+
+## When to use it
+
+- A workflow reserves, charges, books, publishes, or otherwise changes several systems.
+- Earlier effects can be semantically undone when a later step fails.
+- At-least-once retries need a stable workflow identity.
+
+Do not pretend an irreversible effect has an undo. Escalate that boundary or place it after the
+reversible steps with an explicit human decision.
+
+## How the demo works
+
+The checkout reserves inventory, charges a card, then fails to create a shipping label.
+SagaRunner remembers the completed steps and invokes refund before inventory release. Stable
+per-step idempotency keys are passed to both the forward and compensating actions. Replaying the
+same saga ID returns the recorded result without repeating any effect.
+
+~~~mermaid
+sequenceDiagram

+ participant I as Inventory
+ participant P as Payments
+ participant S as Shipping
+ W->>I: reserve
+ W->>P: charge
+ W->>S: create label
+ S--xW: failure
+ W->>P: compensate: refund
+ W->>I: compensate: release
+~~~
+
+## Key APIs
+
+- CompensableStep pairs Apply and Compensate.
+- SagaRunner.Run owns ordering, failure capture, reverse compensation, and replay deduplication.
+- SagaResult distinguishes Completed, Compensated, and CompensationFailed.
+
+## Production boundary
+
+The sample ledger is in memory. Production work needs durable workflow state and idempotency
+records stored transactionally with each side effect. It also needs retry and escalation for a
+failed compensation. See the [pattern catalog entry](https://agentic-design.ai/patterns/workflow-orchestration/reversible-action-compensation).

+ "projects": [ { "flavor": "AgentFramework", "path": "SelfHealingOperationsLoop.AgentFramework" } ]
+}
+---
+
+## What it is
+
+A self-healing loop connects operational observation to a tightly constrained corrective action:
+detect a service-level objective breach, diagnose likely cause, check the proposed remediation
+against policy, execute it, then verify the service recovered. Diagnosis can be probabilistic;
+authority and success criteria cannot be.
+
+The safe loop always has an exit to a human. Low confidence, an out-of-policy action, an execution
+error, or failed verification escalates instead of improvising another privileged action.
+
+## When to use it
+
+- Known failure modes have proven, reversible runbook actions.
+- Service health has objective thresholds and fresh telemetry.
+- The automation identity can be limited to a small action allowlist.
+
+Do not automate novel migrations, data repair, or ambiguous destructive work just because a model
+can name an action.
+
+## How the demo works
+
+Checkout p99 rises to 1900 ms after version v43 deploys, breaching a 450 ms SLO. An Agent Framework
+diagnostician proposes but cannot execute a remediation. SelfHealingLoop accepts only a
+high-confidence action from the host-owned allowlist, invokes one simulated rollback, and verifies
+that v42 returns to 310 ms with a healthy error rate.
+
+~~~mermaid
+flowchart LR
+ D[Detect SLO breach] --> G[Agent diagnoses]
+ G --> P{Host policy allows
action + confidence?}
+ P -->|no| E[Escalate]
+ P -->|yes| R[Execute one remediation]
+ R --> V{Verify SLO recovered?}
+ V -->|yes| C[Close and report]
+ V -->|no| E
+~~~
+
+## Key APIs
+
+- HealingPolicy owns SLOs, minimum confidence, and the exact action allowlist.
+- Diagnosis is model output and carries no execution authority.
+- SelfHealingLoop.Run gates remediation, catches failure, and verifies post-action health.
+
+## Production boundary
+
+The sample runs one synchronous action against supplied telemetry. Production needs durable
+incident state, freshness checks, concurrency control, cooldowns, rollback safety, change-system
+integration, and paging. Keep remediation credentials narrower than diagnostic access. See the
+[pattern catalog entry](https://agentic-design.ai/patterns/fault-tolerance-infrastructure/self-healing-operations-loop).

+}
+---
+
+## What it is
+
+Static prompts miss failures that emerge only after several turns. A synthetic user is another
+agent given a goal and behavior—impatient, confused, adversarial, or goal-shifting—and allowed to
+react to the target agent's latest response. Diverse simulations expose context loss, policy
+drift, hallucination, and brittle recovery before real users do.
+
+## When to use it
+
+- Conversation state and follow-up behavior matter.
+- Real interaction data is scarce, sensitive, or arrives too late.
+- Red-team and regression suites need candidate scenarios to review.
+
+Synthetic users are generators, not ground truth. Their findings need deterministic checks,
+independent judges, or human review.
+
+## How the demo works
+
+SimulationHarness alternates one persona move with one target-agent response. The simulator sees
+the full transcript on every turn, while the support agent keeps its own Agent Framework session.
+An impatient customer and an adversarial caller each drive a scenario. The host—not either
+model—enforces the three-turn limit.
+
+~~~mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ participant H as SimulationHarness
+ participant U as Synthetic user agent
+ participant T as Target support agent
+ H->>U: persona + transcript
+ U-->>H: next user move
+ H->>T: user message
+ T-->>H: response
+ H->>U: updated transcript
+ Note over H: stop signal or hard turn limit
+~~~
+
+## Key APIs
+
+- Persona separates the user's goal from behavioral pressure.
+- SimulationHarness.RunAsync owns alternation, cancellation, and the hard turn budget.
+- AgentSession preserves the target agent's multi-turn context.
+
+## Production boundary
+
+The sample prints transcripts; it does not declare them failures automatically. A real pipeline
+adds persona diversity, seeded reproducibility, privacy controls, rubric or invariant checks, and
+a reviewed path from discovered failure to a golden regression case. See the
+[pattern catalog entry](https://agentic-design.ai/patterns/evaluation-monitoring/synthetic-user-simulation).
