Advanced features and patterns for power users.

Overview
--------

These topics cover advanced Pantheon capabilities:

**Learning System**
   Agents that improve over time by recording and learning from successful task completions.

**Evolution System**
   Automatic code optimization through LLM-guided mutations and evaluation.

**Distributed Deployment**
   Running Pantheon across multiple machines with NATS backend.

**Extending Pantheon**
   Creating custom components, providers, and integrations.

Prerequisites
