Orchestration
Coordinating multiple agents, tools, and steps into a workflow: who does what, in what order, with what handoffs, under what control flow.
Orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, the vendor SDKs) make control flow explicit at different levels of rigor, from graphs with checkpoints to role metaphors. The rigor level determines how much of the Loop Reliability Model the framework gives you for free.
Example
A LangGraph workflow with a human-approval interrupt node is orchestration carrying governance.
