Agent Dispatch as CI overview

The design pattern of running AI coding agents through the same infrastructure used for CI/CD pipelines. Agent dispatch runs are modeled as pipeline jobs — they have triggers (PR comment, manual dispatch, schedule), resource limits, timeout policies, and permission scopes. The agent's workspace is a container with the repository checked out, and the agent session streams output back through the same log aggregation used for build pipelines. This unifies the operational model: monitoring, cost tracking, RBAC, and audit logging work identically for human CI and agent CI.
