Select appropriate architectural patterns (workflow, agentic, augmented LLM)

Choosing between a fixed workflow, an augmented LLM and an agentic loop. The governing principle is that agency is a cost rather than a feature: an agent that plans its own steps is harder to test, harder to bound and slower. Pick the simplest pattern whose failure modes you can live with. When a stem emphasises predictability, auditability or a fixed sequence, it is pointing at a workflow even if it uses the word "agent".
