Your AI agent works perfectly in testing — then three weeks into production it quotes a customer the wrong refund amount. Not a calculation error. It FORGOT. This is the context management problem, and in Episode 17 of the Claude Certified Architect Full Course we fix it the way the certification exam expects you to — then tackle the other half of Domain 5: when an AI agent should hand off to a human (and the three "obvious" triggers that are actually exam traps). This is context engineering — the highest-leverage skill for anyone building AI agents in 2026.
