thats a great stab :) We dig into this in the post, but the key distinction we landed on is that the trigger can be asynchronous without the agent itself being async. A cron job, webhook, or autonomous trigger is really about scheduling, not a property of the agent’s execution model.

In other words: triggering without a human ≠ async by itself. What matters is whether the caller blocks on the agent’s work, as opposed to how or when it was kicked off.
