Explanation
Edge cases are scenarios outside the agent's confident operating range. The correct engineering response is graceful degradation: configure the agent to recognize when it cannot handle a situation and escalate to a human agent or trigger a fallback action (such as creating a case). This preserves trust and ensures customers are still served. Increasing autonomy (A) would make failures more frequent and severe. Removing human oversight (B) is the opposite of what's needed-it eliminates the safety net. Disabling logging (D) would make the problem invisible and harder to diagnose. Escalation paths are the industry-standard pattern for handling LLM uncertainty.
