Workflows vs prompts: where's the line for multi-agent orchestration?

A Reddit discussion asks where to draw the line between putting everything in a single prompt file versus building graph/workflow orchestration (e.g., n8n) for coding agents. Example: a code→build→unit-test→PR pipeline could be one prompt or a chain of agents passing work along. The author asks at what point single-prompt setups break down and workflows become necessary.
