Fallback Chain Design

Design fallback options for this workflow step:

PRIMARY OPERATION:
[What you're trying to do]

POTENTIAL FAILURES:
[What could go wrong]

FALLBACK CHAIN:
{
  "level_1": {
    "trigger": "when to use",
    "action": "fallback approach",
    "quality_impact": "what's lost",
    "proceed_to": "next step"
  },
  "level_2": {
    "trigger": "when level_1 also fails",
    "action": "more degraded fallback",
    "quality_impact": "what's lost",
    "proceed_to": "next step"
  },
  "final_fallback": {
    "action": "last resort",
    "requires_human": true | false,
    "notification": "who to alert"
  }
}

QUALITY TRACKING:
- How to mark which fallback was used
- How this affects downstream steps
- How to report to end users
