Has the JS ecosystem reached a point where people agree roughly what a good architecture looks like? I don't see as many blog posts complaining about new framework churn and I'm wondering why.

I'm adding uptime data to my personal LLM bot. Does this information belong in the system prompt? That was my initial plan, but I'm thinking that a tool would be better. Tools let me see information provenance ("queried the uptime tool"). There's also a small caching benefit.

I certainly see the appeal of an LLM system with full context and tool use (OpenClaw), but the lethal trifecta puts me off deploying it. I do like the idea of an agent with a heartbeat though. A bunch of nice cron-style workflows can be built on top.
