What a true agentic engineering workflow looks like: agents run CI/CD end to end

The author explains a genuine agentic engineering workflow using a CI/CD use case: software delivery is reimagined as a closed-loop system driven by autonomous agents rather than a series of scripts, with humans stepping in only where judgment matters.
A trigger (PR merge, scaffolded service, or self-service deploy request) starts the loop; an agent handles execution — building, provisioning, deploying to staging without babysitting. The real shift is verification: instead of a binary pass/fail gate, the agent checks a live scorecard (tests, security posture, approvals) against thresholds, and when unmet it revises the work and pulls the developer back in rather than breaking the loop.
