When we talk about AI agents, the conversation usually centers on the LLM's reasoning capabilities—the brain. But as an architect, when I look at agents like Pi, Keen Code, and OpenHands, the most interesting part is not the brain; it is the nervous system.

This post is a scaffold-level analysis: we look at the code that wraps the model—the control loops, concurrency primitives, state management, and event plumbing—to understand what makes a coding agent usable in production. Building a coding agent is not just about calling an API; it is a distributed systems problem. You have to manage long-running state, coordinate multiple sub-agents, and ensure that a thought process that takes 30 seconds does not freeze your entire environment. The runtime that wires these pieces together is what separates a demo from a production-grade agent.
