Capstone 5 — Domain B: Production B2B Order System
The culminating capstone: build a production-grade autonomous B2B order management system with multi-layer memory, model routing, full observability, cost optimization, containerized deployment, and a 100-case evaluation harness.
Prerequisites
Complete these modules before starting Capstone 5-B. Each one teaches a production capability you will integrate here:
- M03–M05 — Tool Use & Structured Output: Foundations for every tool call and data extraction in the pipeline
- M09–M10 — RAG Pipeline: Hybrid search on product catalogs and customer contracts
- M11 — Multi-Layer Memory: Working, episodic, and procedural memory tiers
- M12 — ReAct Agents: The reasoning loop pattern used by every agent in this pipeline
- M14 — Multi-Agent Systems: Agent-to-agent handoffs and orchestration patterns (Capstone 4-B foundation)
- M17 — HITL & Guardrails: Human-in-the-loop routing, confidence thresholds, and circuit breakers
- M18 — Evaluation: Building test suites, automated scoring, and accuracy measurement
- M19 — Tracing: Distributed tracing with spans, trace collectors, and structured logging
- M20 — Monitoring: Dashboards, alerting, and real-time metrics for production systems
- M21 — Deployment: Containerization, queue-based processing, and API design
- M22 — Cost Optimization: Model routing, prompt caching, and per-request cost tracking
You should also have completed Capstone 4 — Domain B (multi-agent B2B order lifecycle pipeline), as this capstone extends that project with production capabilities.
Project Brief
You’ve built the pieces across Capstones 1–4: a status bot (C1), a catalog/contract RAG agent (C2), a ReAct exception resolver (C3), and a 4-agent pipeline (C4). Now you integrate everything into a production system that handles the full B2B order lifecycle autonomously — intake through delivery — while learning from past exceptions, optimizing costs, and providing real-time visibility into every decision.
The system processes 200+ orders daily. Simple status queries resolve in under 5 seconds via Haiku. Exception investigations complete in under 60 seconds via Sonnet. Complex multi-exception resolutions escalate to Opus. Episodic memoryA persistent store of past order interactions and their outcomes. When the system encounters a similar exception, it retrieves relevant past resolutions — like an experienced ops manager remembering how they handled a Memphis hub delay last March. ensures the system never makes the same mistake twice: if a carrier delay at Memphis was resolved with a 5% discount last time, the system proposes the same resolution automatically next time.
Targets: <5s for status queries, <60s for exception resolution, <$0.30/interaction average, >90% resolution accuracy vs. human ops managers, <10% escalation rate.
- Multi-Layer Memory: Working memory (current order context), episodic memoryStores past exception resolutions and customer interactions. When a similar exception occurs, the system retrieves the best past resolution and proposes it — learning from experience without retraining. (past exception resolutions, customer satisfaction outcomes), procedural memoryLearned rules extracted from episodic patterns. Example: "Memphis hub delays in March → proactively notify affected customers within 2 hours." These automate operational knowledge. (carrier-specific handling rules learned over time).
- Advanced RAG: Hybrid search on product catalogs + contracts with customer-specific re-ranking and contextual compression.
- Full Observability: Distributed tracing on every order event. 8-panel operations dashboard.
- Cost Optimization: Model routingStatus queries → Haiku (~$0.003). Standard exceptions → Sonnet (~$0.03). Multi-exception analysis → Opus (~$0.10). Two reference baselines: ~65% cheaper than Opus-for-everything (avg $0.019 vs. $0.10), and ~17% cheaper than all-Sonnet (avg $0.019 vs. $0.030). See the Production Cost Model below. by task complexity. Prompt caching for catalog lookups. WebSocket streaming for real-time status.
- Production Deployment: Docker + Express.js + BullMQ + ChromaDB. WebSocket for real-time order status. Event-driven architecture.
- Evaluation Harness: 100-case test suite: 30 standard flows, 20 status queries, 25 exceptions, 10 edge cases, 10 adversarial, 5 regression.
Environment Setup
A production-grade autonomous B2B order management system with multi-layer memory, model routing, full observability, cost optimization, WebSocket streaming, and a 100-case evaluation harness. Time estimate: 4–6 hours (difficulty: ★★★★★).

Step-by-Step Build Guide
Step 1: Create the Project Skeleton
What & Why: Create the directory structure and empty __init__.py files so Python can import across packages. Without this, you will get ModuleNotFoundError on every import.
cd production-b2b-orders
mkdir -p agents memory rag observability routing guardrails evaluation server
touch agents/__init__.py memory/__init__.py rag/__init__.py \
observability/__init__.py routing/__init__.py guardrails/__init__.py \
evaluation/__init__.py server/__init__.py
cd production-b2b-orders
mkdir agents memory rag observability routing guardrails evaluation server
type nul > agents\__init__.py
type nul > memory\__init__.py
type nul > rag\__init__.py
type nul > observability\__init__.py
type nul > routing\__init__.py
type nul > guardrails\__init__.py
type nul > evaluation\__init__.py
type nul > server\__init__.py
You should see All packages importable. If you get ModuleNotFoundError, check that every directory has an __init__.py file and you are running from the production-b2b-orders/ root.
Step 2: Build the Mock Data Layer
What & Why: Create mock_data.py with 10 realistic POs containing line items, carrier tracking, contracts, and pre-seeded exception scenarios. Every subsequent step depends on this test data.
# mock_data.py — B2B Order Mock Data
# WHAT: Realistic test data for 10 POs across different statuses,
# 3 customer contracts with tiered pricing, and carrier tracking events.
# WHY: Every subsequent step (memory, routing, RAG, orchestration) imports
# from this file. Having consistent, rich data avoids “it works on my
# machine” issues and lets checkpoints produce deterministic output.

for po_id, order in ORDERS.items():
print(f" {po_id}: {order['customer']:<20s} status={order['status']:<15s} total=${order['total']:,.2f}")
You should see 10 orders, 3 contracts, 2 carrier records loaded followed by a summary of each PO. If you get an ImportError, make sure the file is saved as mock_data.py in the project root (production-b2b-orders/).
You can also verify imports work from other modules:
You should see 10 orders, 3 contracts loaded. If the count is wrong, verify all entries in mock_data.py.
Step 3: Implement Multi-Layer Memory
Note: This step requires MockVectorStore. If you haven’t built it yet, copy the MockVectorStore class from Step 5 first, save it as rag/vector_store.py, then return here.
What & Why: Create three files in memory/: working.py (manages current order within 6K token budget), episodic.py (stores past exception resolutions with CSAT outcomes in the vector store), and procedural.py (extracts rules from repeated episode patterns like “Memphis hub delays in March”). This is the core differentiator from Capstone 4-B — it lets the system learn from experience. You will need the MockVectorStore from the Solution Architecture section below.
You should see at least 1 recalled episode for the Memphis hub delay with a resolution like notify + 5% discount. If you see 0 results, check that _seed() is called in the constructor and the similarity threshold is not too high (lower to 0.1 if needed).
Step 4: Build the Model Router
What & Why: Create routing/model_router.py that maps task types to optimal Claude models. Status queries go to Haiku (~$0.003), exception investigations to Sonnet (~$0.03), and complex multi-exception resolutions to Opus (~$0.10). Average per-interaction cost drops to ~$0.019 — that is ~65% cheaper than all-Opus ($0.10) and ~17% cheaper than all-Sonnet ($0.030). The Production Cost Model section reconciles both baselines.
You should see status_query routed to Haiku, exception_investigation to Sonnet, and complex_resolution to Opus with increasing estimated costs. If all routes point to the same model, check your TASK_ROUTING dictionary.
Step 5: Add Advanced RAG for Catalogs & Contracts
What & Why: Create rag/vector_store.py (TF-IDF mock) and rag/catalog_search.py (hybrid search with customer-specific re-ranking). This upgrades from Capstone 2-B by ensuring contract results always rank above general catalog results for a given customer. Add prompt caching for the system prompt and tool definitions.
Contract-specific results for Acme Industrial (CUST-001) should rank above general catalog entries. If catalog results rank first, check your re-ranking logic in catalog_search.py.
Step 6: Add Observability Tracing
What & Why: Create observability/tracing.py with the trace_span decorator and observability/dashboard.py for the 8-panel metrics dashboard. Trace every LLM call, tool call, and agent handoff so you can debug slow resolutions and diagnose errors. Without tracing, debugging a 45-second resolution across 6 components is guesswork. See the Observability / Tracing section below for the complete implementation.
You should see Traces collected: 1 and a success span with a duration in milliseconds. If the trace log is empty, ensure the trace_span decorator appends to trace_log.
Step 7: Build the Four Agents
What & Why: Create the four specialized agents in agents/: (1) Intake Agent — parses POs, validates schema, detects duplicates; (2) Fulfillment Agent — checks inventory, plans single vs. split shipments, calculates ETAs; (3) Exception Agent — detects anomalies, queries episodic memory for similar past exceptions, proposes resolutions; (4) Comms Agent — generates customer notifications with SLA compliance and tone matching per customer tier. Each agent uses the model router from Step 4 and the tracing decorator from Step 6.
This step uses the memory from Step 3, router from Step 4, RAG from Step 5, and tracing from Step 6. If you skipped any step, complete it first.
You should see a validated PO with its line item count. If you get import errors, check that Steps 3–6 are complete and all __init__.py files exist.
Step 8: Wire Up the Pipeline Orchestrator
What & Why: Create pipeline.py that coordinates all four agents in sequence: intake → fulfillment → exception monitoring → customer communication. The orchestrator passes working memory context between agents, manages the circuit breaker (if carrier API fails >5 times in 10 minutes, switch to fallback polling), and applies the HITL gate for split shipments over $50K.
You should see the order processed through all four agents with a final status and total cost. The cost should be under $0.30 for a standard order. If an agent fails, check the trace log for the failing span.
Step 9: Add WebSocket Streaming & Deployment Config
What & Why: Create server/websocket.py for real-time order status updates and the Dockerfile + docker-compose.yml for containerized deployment. B2B buyers expect real-time visibility in their portal — WebSocket replaces polling (2,400 requests/minute for 200 orders) with ~50 targeted pushes per day. See the WebSocket Handler and Deployment Configuration sections below for complete implementations.
You should see the module load successfully. For a full WebSocket test, start the server with uvicorn server.websocket:app --port 3000 and connect a WebSocket client to ws://localhost:3000/ws/orders/PO-2024-11234.
Step 10: Build the Evaluation Harness
What & Why: Create evaluation/runner.py and evaluation/test_suite.json with 100 test cases: 30 standard order flows, 20 status queries, 25 exceptions (10 carrier delay, 10 pricing, 5 quality/partial), 10 edge cases, 10 adversarial inputs, and 5 regression tests. This is your production quality gate — run it after every code change to catch regressions before they reach customers. See the Evaluation Runner section below for the complete implementation.
You should see an evaluation report with pass/fail/partial counts and per-category accuracy bars. Target: >90% on standard flows, >80% on exceptions. If accuracy is low, check your mock pipeline against the expected outputs in test_suite.json.

Hybrid Catalog Search with Customer Re-Ranking
rag/catalog_search.py implements the hybrid retrieval used by the Fulfillment and Exception agents. It combines a BM25-style keyword score with a cosine semantic score on bag-of-words vectors, then applies a customer-specific re-ranking boost so that contracts tied to customer_id always surface above generic catalog entries. The function signature matches the import used in Step 5: search_catalog(query, customer_id, top_k=5).
"""rag/catalog_search.py — Hybrid catalog + contract search.
WHAT: Hybrid search across the product catalog AND customer contracts.
Combines BM25-style keyword scoring with cosine similarity on
bag-of-words "embeddings", then applies a customer-specific
re-ranking boost so contract-bound results outrank generic ones.
WHY: In B2B, a customer's contract pricing and terms should always
win over generic catalog entries. A pricing dispute resolved
with the wrong tier is worse than no answer at all.
GOTCHA: The mock embeddings are bag-of-words cosine. Swap the
`_embed()` function for a real embedding model (e.g.,

Two components differentiate this from Capstone 4-B: (1) Episodic memory that recalls past exception resolutions with customer satisfaction scores, so the system proposes proven resolutions; (2) Model routing that sends 58% of interactions to Haiku (status queries), keeping average cost at $0.019 vs. the $0.30 target.
Observability / Tracing Wrapper
Every tool call and LLM invocation must be traced. This decorator captures function name, inputs, outputs, duration, and status — giving you a full audit trail for debugging slow resolutions or diagnosing errors.

WHAT: A decorator that wraps any function with trace spans,
recording name, inputs, outputs, duration, and status.

The carrier API? Without tracing, you're guessing.

You wrapped every function with a trace span that records its name, inputs, outputs, duration, and success/failure status.

Without tracing, debugging a 45-second resolution across 6 components is guesswork.
Input Validator (Schema + Sanitization)
guardrails/input_validator.py sits in front of the Intake Agent. It validates the incoming PO schema, detects duplicate POs (replayed webhooks), and sanitizes free-text fields against SQL/prompt injection. The sanitizer never silently rewrites text that changes meaning — instead it flags suspicious payloads and routes them to the adversarial test path. This is the production guardrail that makes the 10 adversarial test cases pass.
"""guardrails/input_validator.py — Intake-time guardrails.
WHAT: Schema validation, duplicate detection, free-text
sanitization for inbound POs.
WHY: Order intake is the system's only attacker-controlled
surface (webhooks, EDI, portal). Every adversarial test
case lands here first.
GOTCHA: Do NOT silently rewrite payloads that change meaning.
Flag and quarantine them so the audit trail is complete.

You wired the production input guardrail. Schema validation rejects malformed POs at the door. Duplicate detection makes the system idempotent under webhook retries. Attack detection flags SQL injection, prompt injection, XSS, path traversal, null bytes, and oversized payloads — quarantining the raw payload so it never enters an LLM context window. The 10 adversarial test cases all flow through this validator and emerge with sanitized: true and instruction_followed: false.
Circuit Breaker (Fallback Polling Mode)
guardrails/circuit_breaker.py protects the pipeline from cascading failures when the carrier API misbehaves. After 5 failures within a 10-minute rolling window the breaker trips: subsequent calls short-circuit to fallback polling mode — batched periodic queries instead of real-time per-event lookups — until a half-open probe succeeds.
"""guardrails/circuit_breaker.py — carrier API failure protection.
WHAT: Time-windowed circuit breaker. Trips after 5 failures in a
10-min rolling window; opens, then half-opens after 60s for a
single probe. While open, callers must use fallback polling
(batched periodic queries) instead of per-event real-time calls.
WHY: A flaky carrier API can take down the whole order pipeline if
every shipment update retries against it. The breaker bounds
the blast radius and forces graceful degradation.
GOTCHA: The breaker is per-process. For multi-pod deployments use a
shared store (Redis) so a tripped state propagates.

You wired the carrier-API safety valve. Five failures inside any 10-minute window flips the breaker open; calls then short-circuit to a polling cache fed by a 5-minute batch worker. After 60 seconds the breaker half-opens for a single probe; if that probe succeeds, it closes; if it fails, the cooldown restarts. This is the pattern that lets the order pipeline tolerate a 30-minute carrier outage with no cascading failures, just slightly stale shipment data.

You built an automated evaluation runner that scores your system against the 100-case test suite. Each case is classified as pass (≥90% field match), partial (≥50%), or fail. The category breakdown shows exactly where the system is weak — if exception_pricing drops below 80%, you know to investigate your contract RAG pipeline or episodic memory for pricing resolutions. Run this after every code change to catch regressions before they reach production.
WebSocket Handler for Real-Time Order Streaming

You built a WebSocket endpoint that lets B2B portal clients subscribe to real-time updates for specific PO numbers. When the pipeline changes an order state (confirmed → shipped → delivered), it calls broadcast_order_update() to push the event to all connected clients instantly. This replaces polling (2,400 requests/minute for 200 orders) with ~50 targeted pushes per day. The connection cleanup on disconnect prevents memory leaks that would crash the server in production.
ERP Webhooks & Pub/Sub Event Bus
Production B2B systems are event-driven: when SAP or NetSuite changes an order’s status, it fires a webhook to your service, which validates the signature, publishes the event to a topic, and lets independent subscribers (Exception Agent, Comms Agent, audit log) react in parallel. Below are three small modules — a webhook receiver, a publisher, and a subscriber — with a mock in-memory queue you can swap for Google Cloud Pub/Sub in production.
The webhook handler runs synchronously inside FastAPI (must return 200 within seconds or the ERP retries). The publisher hands the event off to a topic asynchronously. The subscriber processes events in a worker. Decoupling these three layers is the difference between losing events under load and processing 200 orders/day reliably.
"""server/webhook_handler.py — ERP order-status webhook receiver.
WHAT: FastAPI route that accepts POSTed order events from the ERP
(SAP / NetSuite / Oracle), validates an HMAC-SHA256 signature
using a shared secret, then enqueues the event onto Pub/Sub.
WHY: Signed webhooks are how your service trusts “status changed
to shipped” came from the ERP and not from an attacker.
GOTCHA: Constant-time comparison (hmac.compare_digest) is mandatory.
Naive `==` allows timing attacks that can leak the secret.

Run the smoke test with python -m server.pubsub_subscriber to see a fake exception event flow end-to-end.
Prompt Caching for the Product Catalog
The product catalog is large (~6K tokens) but rarely changes. Without caching, every status query and exception investigation re-reads it — that is wasted input cost. With cache_control={"type": "ephemeral"}, Anthropic stores the prefix server-side for 5 minutes and bills the next request that re-uses it at ~10% of normal input cost. Caching activates when (a) the prefix is at least 1024 tokens for Haiku/Sonnet (or 2048 for Opus) and (b) the new request reuses that exact prefix. The dashboard’s 82% cache-hit rate comes from this pattern.

Cached input tokens are billed at ~10% of normal input cost. With a 6K-token catalog and 6,000 monthly requests, caching saves roughly 6K × 6,000 × 0.9 = 32.4M token-equivalents of input. At Haiku’s $0.0008/1K input price, that is ~$26/month off Haiku alone, plus larger savings on Sonnet calls. Combined with model routing, this is the path from $30/month all-Sonnet API cost down to ~$15/month.

Testing Guide
| Type | Scenario | Expected Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| HAPPY | Standard order via Haiku | Processed end-to-end in <5s, costs <$0.05 |
| HAPPY | Carrier delay + episodic memory | Recalls Memphis hub resolution, proposes same approach, resolves in <30s |
| HAPPY | Pricing discrepancy via Sonnet | Detects contract vs. invoice mismatch, calculates credit amount |
| HAPPY | 20 concurrent status queries | All served from Haiku within 3s, queue handles gracefully |
| HAPPY | Procedural rule fires for Memphis delay | Proactive notification sent within 2 hours without human intervention |
| EDGE | Queue exceeds 100 orders | Priority ordering (high-value first), HTTP 429 for overflow |
| EDGE | Customer contract expires mid-processing | Detects stale cache, refreshes, uses list pricing with note |
| EDGE | Never-seen-before exception type | Routes to Opus, processes without episodic memory, stores as new episode |
| ADVERSARIAL | SQL injection in PO line item description | Sanitized at intake, no downstream impact |
| ADVERSARIAL | 200 concurrent requests (4x max) | Back-pressure applied, 429 for overflow, no crashes |
Compliance Notes
A production order management system handles sensitive commercial data across every component: customer credit limits, contract pricing, inventory levels, carrier rates, and exception resolution history.
- Episodic memory as commercial data: Past exception resolutions contain customer names, order values, discounts given, and satisfaction scores. Treat as confidential business records. Apply retention policies and access controls.
- Cross-customer isolation: The episodic memory must NEVER suggest a resolution based on Customer A’s contract terms when resolving Customer B’s exception. Filter episodes by customer before surfacing.
- EDI compliance: If orders arrive via EDI 850, every transformation must maintain the EDI audit trail. The evaluation harness should include EDI-formatted test cases.
- Model routing transparency: Log which model was selected for each interaction. If a customer dispute arises about a resolution quality, the ops team needs to know if it was handled by Haiku vs. Opus.
- WebSocket security: Real-time order status feeds must authenticate clients and only stream events for orders the authenticated user is authorized to see.
With model routing: 58% Haiku (~$0.003), 35% Sonnet (~$0.03), 7% Opus (~$0.10). Average: ~$0.019/interaction (58% × $0.003 + 35% × $0.03 + 7% × $0.10 = $0.019). Prompt caching of the system prompt + catalog saves another ~30%: ~$0.015. Infrastructure (Redis, ChromaDB, compute): ~$300/month for 200 orders/day. Total: ~$400/month all-in for 6,000 monthly order interactions, or ~$0.07/interaction including infrastructure.
Two reference baselines:
- All-Opus baseline (~$0.10/interaction): 6,000 × $0.10 = $600/month API + $300 infra = $900/month. Routing saves ~$500/month or ~65% on API spend ($0.019 vs $0.10).
- All-Sonnet baseline (~$0.03/interaction): 6,000 × $0.03 = $180/month API + $300 infra = $480/month. Routing saves ~$80/month or ~17% on API spend ($0.019 vs $0.030) and raises quality for complex cases via Opus.
The 65% number is the marketing-friendly headline (most teams compare to "always use the smartest model"). The 17% number is the realistic operational improvement once you have already moved off Opus-for-everything. Both are correct against their respective baselines.
Verify Everything Works
Run this single end-to-end command that processes an order through the full pipeline, checks memory recall, verifies tracing, and runs the evaluation harness:
"""run_e2e_test.py �� End-to-end production validation."""
from pipeline import OrderPipeline
from mock_data import ORDERS
from memory.episodic import OrderEpisodicMemory
from observability.tracing import trace_log
from evaluation.runner import run_evaluation, build_test_suite, mock_pipeline, print_report
# 1. Process a standard order
pipeline = OrderPipeline()
result = pipeline.process_order(ORDERS["PO-2024-11234"])
print(f"[1/4] Order processed: {result['po_number']} -> {result['final_status']}")
print(f" Cost: ${result['total_cost']:.4f} | Agents: {result['agents_invoked']}")
# 2. Test episodic memory recall
mem = OrderEpisodicMemory()
episodes = mem.recall("Memphis hub carrier delay UPS")
print(f"\n[2/4] Episodic memory: {len(episodes)} similar episodes recalled")
for ep in episodes:
print(f" {ep['episode_id']}: {ep['resolution']}")
# 3. Verify tracing captured spans
print(f"\n[3/4] Tracing: {len(trace_log)} spans captured")
for span in trace_log[-3:]:
print(f" [{span['status'].upper()}] {span['span']} | {span['duration_ms']}ms")
# 4. Run evaluation harness
print(f"\n[4/4] Running evaluation harness...")
eval_results = run_evaluation(build_test_suite(), mock_pipeline)
print_report(eval_results)
print("All systems operational.")
You have built a production-grade autonomous B2B order management system with all six production pillars: multi-layer memory, advanced RAG, model routing, full observability, containerized deployment, and a 100-case evaluation harness. The pipeline processes orders through intake → fulfillment → exception monitoring → customer communication with tracing at every stage.
To take this further: connect real Anthropic API calls (replace mock responses in each agent), deploy with Docker using docker-compose up, and expand the evaluation harness to the full 100 cases to prove production readiness.
Troubleshooting Guide
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'anthropic'
Your virtual environment is not activated. Run source venv/bin/activate (macOS/Linux) or venv\Scripts\activate (Windows), then pip install anthropic.
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'agents'
Python cannot find the package. Create __init__.py files in every subdirectory. On Unix: touch agents/__init__.py memory/__init__.py rag/__init__.py observability/__init__.py routing/__init__.py guardrails/__init__.py evaluation/__init__.py server/__init__.py. On Windows: type nul > agents\__init__.py (repeat for each directory).
AuthenticationError: Invalid API key
Your ANTHROPIC_API_KEY environment variable is not set or is incorrect. Run echo $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (Unix) or echo %ANTHROPIC_API_KEY% (Windows) to verify. The key should start with sk-ant-.
Episodic memory returns 0 results for known exceptions
The mock TF-IDF embedding has lower resolution than real embeddings. Try lowering the similarity threshold from 0.1 to 0.05 in memory/episodic.py, or ensure your query includes key terms from the seeded episodes (e.g., “Memphis”, “carrier”, “delay”).
Model router returns the same model for all tasks
Check that TASK_ROUTING in routing/model_router.py has distinct entries for each task type. Also verify the complexity parameter is not always above 0.85 (which forces Opus).
WebSocket connection refused on port 3000
Ensure the FastAPI server is running: uvicorn server.websocket:app --port 3000. If the port is already in use, try a different port: uvicorn server.websocket:app --port 3001. On Windows, check that your firewall allows inbound connections on the port.
Docker build fails with “pip install” errors
Create a requirements.txt file with: anthropic chromadb pydantic fastapi uvicorn httpx pytest websockets (one per line). Ensure it is in the project root directory.
Evaluation harness shows 0% accuracy on all categories
Check that your mock_pipeline function returns dictionaries with the same keys as the expected field in the test cases. Field name mismatches (e.g., status vs. order_status) cause 0-score evaluations.
Agent SDK Port [OPTIONAL STRETCH]
The four-agent pipeline you built uses a manual tool-use loop — messages.create, stop_reason == "tool_use", accumulating tool_result blocks, and short-circuiting on end_turn. The Claude Agent SDK abstracts that loop. This stretch goal ports one agent (the Exception Resolution agent) so you can compare LOC and behavior against the manual implementation in your own code.
The SDK trades fine-grained control for less code. Use it when your tools fit the MCP shape, async execution is acceptable, and circuit-breaker / retry logic can wrap the whole query() call rather than every iteration. Keep the manual loop when you need synchronous flow, mid-loop guardrails (e.g. cost ceilings checked between tool calls), or per-tool retry semantics.
Install
pip install "claude-agent-sdk>=0.1.0" anyio
Port the Exception Resolution Agent
Create sdk_port.py. The same exception-handling tools (diagnose_exception, recall_similar_episodes, propose_resolution, escalate_to_human) are wrapped with @tool and bundled into an in-process MCP server.
"""sdk_port.py — Port the Exception Resolution agent to the Claude Agent SDK.
The manual tool-use loop is ~80 lines per agent. The SDK absorbs the loop,
MCP-shaped tool dispatch, and message accumulation. The circuit breaker
and tracer become wrappers around query() instead of hooks inside the loop.

LOC & Behavior Comparison
| Aspect | Manual tool-use loop | Agent SDK (this stretch) |
|---|---|---|
| Lines per agent | ~80 | ~25 (excluding tool wrappers) |
| Tool dispatch | You write the if block.name == ... dispatcher | SDK routes by MCP tool name |
stop_reason / tool-use loop | You implement | SDK handles |
| Execution model | Sync (or your choice) | Async only |
| Circuit breaker hook | Inline, per iteration | Wrapper, per query() call |
| Tool result format | Plain dict you marshal | MCP {"content": [...]} |
| Mid-loop retry on tool failure | Easy — you control the loop | Harder — wrap the whole query |
| Visibility into raw messages | Full messages array | AssistantMessage event stream |
| Streaming partial responses | Set stream=True on messages.create | Native (the async for) |
| Per-step cost ceiling check | Easy — check after each tool result | Requires wrapping each tool with budget guard |
Use the SDK when tools fit the MCP shape, the circuit breaker can guard the whole query (not every iteration), and async execution is acceptable. Keep the manual loop when you need synchronous control flow, per-tool-call retries, mid-loop budget enforcement, or you want complete visibility into the raw messages array (e.g. for replay, audit logs, or PCI-DSS trace inspection). The four-agent pipeline keeps the manual loop because the model router can switch tiers between iterations (Haiku → Sonnet → Opus on escalation) and the cost ceiling is checked after every tool call — both are easier to express in the explicit loop.
Going Further
These extensions are all [OPTIONAL]. The core capstone is complete without them. Each one adds a production-grade capability you can implement independently:
- [OPTIONAL] Automatic procedural rule extraction — After 5+ similar episodes with the same lesson, auto-promote to a procedural rule with confidence scoring.
- [OPTIONAL] Customer satisfaction prediction — Use episodic memory to predict CSAT for a proposed resolution before executing it. If predicted CSAT is low, escalate to human.
- [OPTIONAL] Multi-carrier optimization — When re-shipping after a carrier delay, automatically select the fastest alternative carrier based on historical performance data.
- [OPTIONAL] Real-time A/B testing — Route 50% of carrier delay resolutions through a new notification template. Measure CSAT difference.
- [OPTIONAL] Kubernetes with autoscaling — Graduate from Docker Compose to Kubernetes with HPA based on queue depth and order volume.
- [OPTIONAL] Supplier integration — Extend the pipeline to automatically notify suppliers of backorder situations and track re-stock ETAs.
