Orchestration

Why this is canonical

'Exception orchestration' names a recognized sub-domain of workflow automation and business process management: the structured handling of deviations from the happy path. As agentic systems take over more business processes, exception handling becomes a critical orchestration layer — not a fallback, but a designed system.
