MK· The Loop Meets the Microwave Network
Honest labeling: the network below is simulated (topology, ITU-R rain physics, alarms). The diagnosis runbook, blast-radius gate, verify/rollback contracts and the agent breaker are the real logic, running live in your browser — no data leaves this page. "Agentic" here means software that closes the loop itself (observes, decides, acts, verifies) — not an SNMP agent. Simplifications, stated up front: ATPC assumed disabled, multipath/ducting and wet-radome effects out of scope — the article covers how each would change the runbook.

Multi-vendor microwave region — three NMS islands (three vendors' management systems that don't talk to each other)

Raw alarm feeds — what the three islands actually emit

Layer 2 — glass-box diagnosis (click a finding for the evidence trail)

Region healthy. Inject a scenario on the left.

Layer 3 — gated proposals awaiting a human

Nothing pending. Actions inside policy fire automatically; anything bigger lands here.
