REST Control API: Bridging External Systems to Long-Running Agent Services

As agent services transition from batch processing to always-on operations, external systems like CI pipelines and orchestrators need a standardized way to interact with them. The Ensemble Control API introduces a REST-first control plane that separates external access from internal ensemble networking, eliminating the need for WebSocket clients and custom integration code. This architectural distinction enables enterprises to manage production agent services at scale using industry-standard protocols and tools.
