-**These three roles are not theoretical categories.** Chapter 13 traces a real pull request — PR #394, 70 files changed, 90 minutes, 3 human interventions — and each intervention maps directly to one of these roles. The first intervention was a scope decision during planning: the practitioner assessed audit findings and decided to include all severity levels rather than deferring moderate issues. That was the Architect. The second was an agent recovery: an agent stalled mid-migration, and the practitioner diagnosed the failure mode, decided to split the remaining work across two replacement agents, and re-dispatched. That was the Escalation Handler. The third was test triage: a test failed after wave completion, and the practitioner traced the cause to an ordering issue in the migration and directed a targeted fix. That was the Reviewer. Three interventions, three roles, no overlap. The framework is not a taxonomy for its own sake — it describes the actual pattern of human judgment in agentic execution.
