The scaffolding-vs-workflow boundary question is the right frame for 2026. The argument I keep coming back to: governance lives in the scaffolding precisely because the scaffolding team moves faster. Enterprise workflow vendors have integration moats but they are slow to absorb new model capabilities.

The teams building custom scaffolding around Claude Code right now are essentially forcing that boundary question into production. The deployment story you mention - where enforcement properties start appearing in scaffolding - feels like the early signal that the scaffolding wins the governance layer long-term.

Curious whether you see the workflow platforms acquiring scaffolding capabilities or building them from scratch.
