## 🎨 Implementation Highlights

### 1. Chatbot with Memory

**Pattern**: Conversational state management

```python
# Uses consistent thread_id to maintain conversation
config = {"configurable": {"thread_id": "chat-demo-001"}}

# State accumulates with each turn
for user_msg in conversation:
    viz_app.stream({"messages": [...]}, config)
```

**Visualization Features**:
- Watch `messages` list grow
- See `user_name` detection
- Observe `context` switching
- Track `turn_count` increment

---

### 2. Multi-Agent Research

**Pattern**: Supervisor coordinating specialists

```python
# Supervisor routes dynamically
workflow.add_conditional_edges(
    "supervisor",
    route_to_agent,
    {
        "researcher": "researcher",
        "summarizer": "summarizer",
        "fact_checker": "fact_checker",
        "finish": "compiler",
    }
)

# Agents loop back to supervisor
workflow.add_edge("researcher", "supervisor")
```

**Agents**:
- **Supervisor** - Orchestrates workflow
- **Researcher** - Gathers information
- **Summarizer** - Condenses findings
- **Fact Checker** - Verifies accuracy
- **Compiler** - Generates final report

---

### 3. RAG Pipeline

**Pattern**: Self-correcting retrieval

```python
# Conditional re-retrieval based on quality
def should_reretrieve(state) -> str:
    if state["needs_reretrieval"]:
        return "retrieve"  # Loop back
    return "generate"    # Proceed

workflow.add_conditional_edges(
    "check_relevance",
    should_reretrieve,
    {"retrieve": "retrieve_documents", "generate": "generate_answer"}
)
```

**Flow**:
1. Analyze query (rewrite if needed)
2. Retrieve documents
3. Check relevance score
4. If score < threshold → re-retrieve (max 2 attempts)
5. Generate answer from context

---

### 4. Human-in-the-Loop

**Pattern**: Multi-checkpoint approval

```python
# Conditional approval loop
def needs_more_approvals(state) -> str:
    if state["approvals_received"] < state["approvals_required"]:
        return "request_more"  # Loop for more approvals
    return "proceed"           # Continue workflow
```

**Scenarios**:
- **Production**: Requires 2 approvals
- **Staging**: Requires 1 approval
- Auto-approval simulation (2-second delays)
- Feedback collection in state

---

### 5. Tool-Calling Agent

**Pattern**: Dynamic tool selection

**Available Tools**:
| Tool | Purpose | Example |
|------|---------|---------|
| `calculator` | Math operations | "Calculate 42 * 17 + 89" |
| `web_search` | Info retrieval | "Search for LangGraph" |
| `datetime_tool` | Time queries | "What time is it?" |
| `file_analyzer` | File properties | "Analyze example.py" |
| `unit_converter` | Conversions | "Convert 25 celsius to fahrenheit" |

**Flow**:
1. Analyze request → identify needed tools
2. Execute all required tools
3. Collect results in `tool_results` dict
4. Synthesize final answer

---

### 6. Hierarchical Workflow

**Pattern**: Subgraph composition

```python
# Main pipeline invokes subgraphs
def run_processing_pipeline(state):
    processing_input = {"raw_data": state["input_data"]}
    result = processing_graph.invoke(processing_input)
    return state

# Processing subgraph: clean → transform
# Analysis subgraph: statistics → insights
```

**Architecture**:
```
Main Pipeline
├─ validate_input
├─ process (invokes Processing Subgraph)
│   ├─ clean_data
│   └─ transform_data
├─ analyze (invokes Analysis Subgraph)
│   ├─ compute_statistics
│   └─ generate_insights
└─ generate_report
```
