The trajectory of a modern software project built with generative AI is predictably deceptive. It begins with the intoxicating momentum of "vibe coding," where a solo developer types a natural language description into a single large language model (LLM) and watches a functional prototype materialize in seconds. However, as the application scales from a weekend project to a production-grade system, the developer inevitably hits a brutal ceiling. The single LLM begins to suffer from severe con
