Routine Linking
Routine Linking is the authored connection between two Routines that allows an Interactive Agent to traverse from one Routine into another without losing trace continuity or context.
Routine Linking is how Routines compose. A domain expert authors links between Routines to express that one objective can hand off to another: a complaint Routine can link into a compensation Routine, a sign-up Routine can link into an onboarding Routine. The link carries authored conditions: which Variables transfer, which Persistent Policies follow, which Priorities apply at the handoff. The trace records the link as a first-class event, preserving per-decision traceability through composed objectives. Routine Linking is distinct from Macros: a Macro is a reusable block of authored message text; a link is a directed authored edge between two Routines.
