+## Why Temporal + LangSmith Trajectories
+
+**Temporal** (MIT) is the durable execution layer. Self-host first via GHA `.github/workflows/temporal-self-host-smoke.yml` (SUCCESS on master), `mcp-docker/temporal/`, or Codespaces. Cloud Free Tier optional after secrets exist.

+**LangSmith Trajectories** project a multi-turn thread into a readable ordered message path. Online evaluators score the path; export to datasets / SFT.

+**Bridge:** Temporal Python SDK experimental `LangSmithPlugin` for Worker-boundary continuity.

 ## Why Langfuse deserves attention
 
 Langfuse supports datasets, experiments, scores, live traces, and OpenTelemetry-based experiment ingestion. Its experiment model is especially relevant to manager tournaments because the same dataset can be replayed across conditions and evaluated consistently.
