Cold chains fail for the same reasons distributed systems do: no shared identity across systems, stale 'cache' data standing in for reality, and little real-time observability. The fix isn't a smarter AI model. It's basic SRE-style practices: a single source of truth, end-to-end monitoring, event sourcing, real SLOs, and designing for network partitions.
