### 1. Dynamic Graph Branching with Conditional Edges 🔀

Standard linear pipelines fail when the LLM must decide whether to continue calling tools or finish responding:

```python
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, END

def route_next_step(state: AgentState) -> str:
    messages = state["messages"]
    last_message = messages[-1]

# If LLM returned tool calls, branch to 'tools' node:
    if last_message.tool_calls:
        return "tools"
    # Otherwise, finish execution:
    return END

workflow.add_conditional_edges(
    "agent",
    route_next_step,
    {
        "tools": "tools_node",
        END: END
    }
)
```

### 3. Interview Ke 3 Sawal Is Topic Se

1. **Infinite loops in conditional edges kaise prevent kiye jaate hain?** -> `recursion_limit` parameter set karke (e.g. max 25 iterations) aur state me retry counter track karke.
2. **Parallel Tool Execution conditional routing me kaise handle hoti hai?** -> Agar LLM ek sath 3 tools call kare, toh ToolNode un teeno ko `asyncio.gather()` me parallel execute karke individual `ToolMessage` results state reducer me append karta hai.
3. **Fallback Routing kya hoti hai?** -> Tool execution fail ya exception throw hone par agent node ko error context return karke alternate recovery plan generate karwana.
