Parts 2–4 go deep on security/guardrails, MCP + LangSmith observability, and the AWS deployment, respectively. Most fraud-detection write-ups end at a confusion matrix. A model gets trained, ROC-AUC gets reported, and the story stops right where the interesting part begins: what happens when that score has to become a *decision*, in real time, inside a system a human can trust, audit, and interrupt. This series documents a system built to answer that question properly — not a notebook, a running service. Three cooperating agents score a transaction from independent signals, a LangGraph workflow orchestrates them with a genuine human-in-the-loop pause (not a spinner), every stage is wrapped in guardrails, every run is traced in LangSmith, and the whole thing is containerized and deployed on AWS behind a FastAPI backend with a Streamlit frontend.
