Did the agreement mentioned that it had to be done in such a disorganized manner? Without informing said allies and coalition members? Without taking the time to evacuate 10s of thousands of foreigners?

There is a difference between agreeing on an outcome and the implentation to get there.

"US left Afghan airfield at night, didn’t tell new commander"[1] comes to mind.

> Before the Afghan army could take control of the airfield about an hour’s drive from the Afghan capital Kabul, it was invaded by a small army of looters, who ransacked barrack after barrack and rummaged through giant storage tents before being evicted, according to Afghan military officials.
