An earlier revision collapsed detection and ordering into one nightly run.
They are not the same job: detecting a coming stock-out depends on something
happening and should be woken by it, while proposing a purchase order is
genuinely periodic — grouped by supplier lead time, not by unit sold.
Recorded because it changes what has to be built: the autonomous mandate is a
cost of choosing a clock, not of the business need.
Kafka is the target for the reactive half. Nothing in the estate emits a domain
event today, which is what made a nightly sweep look inevitable. Detection stays
unbuilt until then rather than being approximated by a periodic scan — a batch
pretending to be reactive is worse than an absent feature, because it looks
finished.

Design agreed in discussion, nothing built yet. Records the agent's role, its
scopes and MCP servers, its A2A surface, and the framework choice with its
reason — so the next session starts from the decisions rather than re-deriving
them.
