We discovered that Chain.connect() predicates do NOT prevent link execution in linear pipelines.

Expected: When a predicate returns False, the target link should be skipped.

Actual: All links run regardless of predicate conditions.

Solution: Conditional logic must be implemented INSIDE Links using return statements.

Questions:

1. Is this intentional design?
2. Are predicates only for DAG routing?
3. Should documentation clarify this?
