Patterns — production reference

This is Tier 4 of the example catalogue — reference-grade examples for harder problems. Each is 200-400 lines but lacks the audience-pin storytelling of a Tier 5 lighthouse. Goal: "here's a complete-ish solution to a non-trivial problem."

These examples are organised by pillar. They're the pages you reach when you've outgrown a foundation example and you're not yet ready to read the lighthouse work.

SDK patterns

#	Example	Problem solved
19	domain_model	Domain-modelled agent state
21	full_stack	End-to-end SDK + workflow + fleet
28	autopilot_quickstart	Autopilot without an LLM key
29	memory_strategies	Strategy-based memory extraction
31	grounded_multi_model	Multi-LLM grounded retrieval
32	global_shared_memory	Cross-agent shared knowledge

Autopilot patterns

#	Example	Problem solved
35	autopilot_hosted_service	Autopilot via the hosted blueprint service
28	autopilot_quickstart	Autopilot without an LLM key

Fleet patterns

#	Example	Problem solved
20	fleet_workers	Distributed worker registration
26	fleet_scoped_dispatch	Capability-based dispatch, per-project routing

Observatory patterns

#	Example	Problem solved
12	budget_enforcement	Per-user/team/project budget caps

Training Loop patterns

#	Example	Problem solved

Sealed (spine) patterns

#	Example	Problem solved
16	agent_governance	Approval flows + audit trail

Companion notes

Example 22 — memory_holds_across_llms — a foundation-level companion to the memory + LLM-swap pattern. Has its own sibling README.
Example 17 — unsloth_finetune (legacy stub) — superseded by Example 38 (real fine-tune). Left in place for backward compatibility but marked deprecated. Read Example 38 instead.
